I don’t understand what you mean about using a password manager
There’s no point in using a password manager in your scenario. It’s redundant.
Also your identity is tied to a lemmy instance right now anyway.
It’s not, actually.
Comment on A "Sign in with fediverse" button?
tomatol@lemm.ee 3 weeks agoI 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.

It sound like this is just not for you then. Yep password managers are not user friendly. Single tap sign in button is. Is it less secure? Probably. You’d still have the option to login regularly.
After all the fediverse is for social media. It should be easy to use for the masses. It also means you won’t be storing your bank info in a fediverse app so the damage is not that bad if someone hacks you. Instagram and tiktok accounts get hacked all the time btw and it’s not the end of the world.
