haha you're not wrong, but imo this is a critical part to centralize though. I haven't seen an easy to use (wallet not required) and trusted solution yet for decentralizing auth. Maybe it's underway and I'd be happy to adopt that once it's good.
- mawise 4y agoIndieAuth[1] is a slick DNS-based approach. Maybe offering that as a service would be a nice alternative. I point my DNS to you, and you handle authentication for everything that uses IndieAuth. If you go away or I don't like what you're doing then I can point my DNS to someone else offering that service and I retain the same DNS identity, and ability to use it to login anywhere I've set it up as my identity. IndieAuth.com[2] sort of does this already, but it delegates to a "social" login (Facebook/Twitter/Github/Google/etc).
