That sounds very much like the goals of Mozilla's Persona service. While it required a separate service and some JavaScript, the idea was that it could be supported natively by browsers in the long run.
Unfortunately, it was shut down in 2016 due to lack of interest. (Coincidentally, I just spent this past week hacking on its source code.)
- 8organicbits 6y agoI wonder if it just wasnt the right time and if the project could be revived in a couple years. It seems like a great direction.
- IgorPartola 6y agoYes that’s pretty much what I was thinking of. It’s unfortunate Mozilla couldn’t keep it going. I wonder if a browser extension could make this work as a way to pave the way forward. Or if like LastPass could add such functionality.
- fouc 6y agoI'd imagine Apple would have more success with this type of service due to the vertical integration. And they are kinda going in this direction..
