I installed Overcast on my phone and since a UUID is saved to iCloud, when I installed it on my iPad, it automatically ties it back to my Overcast account without having to explicitly create an account.

The author of Overcast, Marco Arment, did that specifically so he wouldn’t have to store usernames, passwords and emails on his server - increasing privacy.

You can add a username and password to your account if you need to log in to the website. But he really wants to get rid of that requirement too.
