If you created an account at one of those, you are trusting them. The trust
issue is with account creation, not with usage. Once you have a google account
it is automatically OpenID enabled. Even if you never used it yourself, google
is perfectly able to impersonate you. The same is true for an
email/password-login and any external mail provider.
