The decentralization of Single Sign-on seems like a natural step in improving usability and accessability of the fediverse. It will require a lot less account and make it far easier to interact with content. Are there anybody working on this?

    IMHO while often called federated authentification, OIDC is more delegated authentication especially when a few central services are used.

    The older OpenID standard let people put their own url, but it never got much traction and is pretty much abandoned by now.

    Actual federated authentication like Hubzilla’s Magicauth or Webauthn is seamless. You just open a link an the website will recognize you as a remote user and let you do stuff based on your permission level.
