  And it's great! Also coming is the ability to share login credentials across domains.

  Built in pw manager with JS api. Nothing special. Doesn't fix anything.

    It's more than that, it syncs user login credentials across devices, and can auto-sign in users without them having to go through a login form. Example scenario: user signs up for a site on Chrome desktop. When they visit the site from their phone, they're automatically signed in, they don't even see a login screen.

      Does it by default generate a password or there is STILL a way for user to set their own? If the latter, then it won't change anything. We must hide pw field entirely from the user.

        I believe they autogenerate the password, but the long-term strategy is to make OAuth as seamless as possible so users are encouraged to login to everything with their Google/Facebook etc account.

    > It's a standards-track proposal at the W3C... Gotta start somewhere. Proposals that come with a working prototype probably fare much better than those that are purely theoretical.
