@ajsadauskas I have a strong feeling that the more convenient “Easy to use single sign on across servers” will be, the less secure it will also be.
#SingleSignOn is #SinglePointOfFailure.
I vote for security over convenience.
@Hovedorganet @ajsadauskas They're not necessarily opposed. The trick is always to find the right balance of both. There is no such thing as perfectly secure so it becomes a matter of how much risk is reasonable to make a product usable. Right now the Fediverse suffers a major flaw, even with something as simple as following people on other instances.
