Description

Right now the only way to authenticate into Tilt Cloud is via github.com.

Even if many users may have a github.com account, they may not want to use it for work purposes. Some users may be using self-hosted GitHub / GitLab / Bitbucket at work and not have any work context associated with their github.com account (if they have one).

A solution may be authenticating with a Google account or a Microsoft account, as many companies likely are using a Google-provided email address (i.e. google apps) or similarly a Microsoft one. Or perhaps we should just create a traditional username/password mechanism first.
