I think this is good. My big concern with OpenID was that, beyond it's technical security, it was training users to enter very valuable credentials (like their Google account that they probably use for bank emails, etc.) all over the place for other services (like some random app that lets you use your Google account), where they don't really know how to confirm that the credentials are going straight to Google. Doing this in their legit browser makes this a bit better.
- ashneo76 6y agoNo. This is terrible for the web. This closes of the the web to just their "legit" browser, like an app mandated by them. The very thing that made Google, Google is killing that.
- macksd 6y agoOk - so in an embedded browser how do I know with high confidence my credentials are being sent encrypted to the right authenticator? If that functionality isn't part of the web, then I don't subscribe to it.
