But why? Just use a password manager instead of tying your identity to a Lemmy instance which you do not control.
Having SSO is reliant on having a single trusted server which has your password instead of you maintaining it yourself. This is just an unnecessary risk.

I mean a federated authentication server that you can host yourself if you want.
I don’t understand what you mean about using a password manager, you can still do that and your identity is tied to a lemmy instance right now anyway.

My Lemmy instance only owns this account, not secondary accounts on separate websites

Right well I guess your concerns also apply to apple sso, google and sso in general. I don’t think it’s something you would use but mainstream users might definitely appreciate the feature.

No one should be using any of that. People use that because they don’t understand how password managers work.

There’s no point in using a password manager in your scenario. It’s redundant.
It’s not, actually.
