One thing I really like about ATProto/Atmosphere is the concept of a PDS, or Personal Data Server, storing all your account data.
The other day someone announced https://bookhive.buzz, basically ATProto take on https://bookwyrm.social, but unlike Bookwyrm, which requires you to create a separate account, Bookhive lets you log in with your PDS, most commonly your Bluesky account.
That's actually pretty neat.
And we could have something similar with Federated Credential Management (FedCM).

Have you looked at FedCM yet?
Here is short video explaining what it is, and why the idp-registration feature could matter a lot for decentralized identity and login UX.

This is pretty darn cool. I don't know a lot about IdP registration, but it looks like this could improve the Sign-In flow in decentralized ecosystems.
Did I copy pasta a lot of that to try and entice you to watch this video? Yes, yes I did.

Back in June I wrote about an exciting confluence of digital auth tech:
(1) The commodification of #OIDC infrastructure, (2) the emergence of #FedCM, (3) and the compatibility of both with #indieauth .
In short, it is now easier than ever to log into web applications using your own website as an identity provider. Or at least, it would be, if your favorite web apps supported these agency-enhancing technologies.

Well this is moving quickly! You can now spin up FedCM on your own website and log in to https://webmention.io thanks to this open source project from Sam Goto! This is so much better than having to type out your website or even email address when logging in! Full instructions here:

This weekend I built a prototype of using FedCM for IndieAuth! This gets rid of the need to enter your domain when logging in to websites using IndieAuth! Demo video and notes here: https://aaronparecki.com/2024/05/12/3/fedcm-for-indieauth
