Are you sure that wasn’t the point?
OIDC is the biggest monopoly play in the industry right now and it’s an absolute privacy nightmare. Almost nobody seems to even notice.
Of course history has shown that people will trade literally everything for convenience so it will probably succeed. In the future if you get your Google account locked you won’t be able to access your bank account or buy a plane ticket and Google will know everything you use at all times and be able to log into anything you use. But it’ll be convenient.
- fghjklty 4y agoyes, it was always the point. Microsoft was the main proponent and gave talks to every single government agency in the world in favour of it. never mentioning OIDC. while google was promoting it left and right to developers. also never mentioning OIDC. Only the open/decentralized parts. it was the classical embrace, Extend, Extinguish play. By now a classical move of both Microsoft and Google.
- anderspitman 4y agoI wonder if a nonprofit privacy-oriented identity provider could work. All it does is provide OIDC to to any apps that want to integrate. On the backend users can login with any social provider or email, but the social providers would only ever see a login from the nonprofit.
