Comment on A "Sign in with fediverse" button?
tomatol@lemm.ee 5 weeks agoRight 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.

It doesn’t sound like you’ve used a password manager
Single tap sign in is available in password managers via passkeys.
It is as secure as the service you’re using to sign in. What it’s not is private.
Again, no one should be using this and we certainly should not be encouraging anyone to use it.
For many of those people, it is a giant problem.
