Would something single sign on (SSO) even be possible? I think the convenience of having a single account for the family of federated platforms would be wildly convenient.
Of course folks could continue to have individual accounts on each platform if they wanted.
I also understand that it would create a very tempting target for hackers and it would need to use MFA (multi factor authentication).
Just a thought and I would like to see you all have to say.
Asking after having this discussion.
It’s a thought but I don’t think the lack of SSO is preventing broader adoption. I think that the word is just not completely out yet and many of the fediverse platforms are still young yet. I do see organic growth happening though.
Not sure if this would help or not but what I want is to own my user, so I can bring it anywhere and not worry if an instance goes down since I own the user. Similar to email with your own domain, the provider I use for email could go down but I have control to the domain/email so I can switch to something else, but keep my user.
This would be great. I don’t want to make multiple accounts if I want to leave an instance. It should be as simple as switching in a menu.
