- Flimm 13y agoIs there one?
- mtrimpe 13y agoNot that I know of...
- dredmorbius 13y agoThat is pretty much the epitome of "hard task". Sites differ, associating the right site with the right password is difficult, and the security risks (having scripts accidentally send the wrong creds to the wrong site(s)) mean you'd really want to get this right. In conjunction with some other thoughts of mine, though, this suggests a space for a more API-driven web design generally. One in which the authentication mode is clearly expressed. HTML had this integrated at one point with htaccess, but it was a horribly simplistic model. Something I've been thinking about.

- dredmorbius 13y agoBut that's not backwards-compatible with existing site authentication systems, is it?
