Hello

Do you guys use "Login with Apple" on all the sites you get the option to do that?
I'm a little concerned for using it. I love Apple, and have no intention to switch away, but I can only imagine the hell it must be if someday I chose not to use Apple anymore - to create new accounts on all those websites.

What do you do?

fwiw afaik you dont need to own or use an apple device to maintain an apple account.

You won't create new accounts. Before you leave Apple:
  • Open Settings on any iOS/Mac device you still have.
  • Tap your name → Sign-In & Security (or “Password & Security” on older iOS).
  • Tap Sign in with Apple.
  • Pick “example.com” (or any site) → Stop Using Apple ID. → You’ll be sent to the real website.
  • On the website, create a password for the email address Apple just revealed (it’s usually your real address or a @privaterelay.appleid.com one).
  • Repeat for every site (unfortunately you have to do them one by one).
