I think this decentralization and federation is what web3 is all about, without all the corporations calling everything to do with monkey pixel art that costs a million dollars “web3”

I’ve dreamed for years about a decentralized single sign-in method. Some of the worst security issues derive from using passwords, usernames, emails, etc. Two factor authentication is ultimately just a band-aid fix for now. I truly think the killer usecase of web3 will be the ux. I’m glad that there’s someone else that shares this conviction.
While signing up for Lemmy, I found myself wishing for a web3 sign-in method. Federation is great, but there are so many servers and to have an account on each would be silly. Instead of crossing the server boundary on an account from your home server, why not just have a native account on each, connected by your decentralized web3 sign-in.
Exactly! Fortunately there are some great devs working on generalized web 3 sign in(like SpruceID) and we have some experiments with blockchain based social media(like Lens protocol) These are by no means perfect but can paint a picture of what’s actually possible if we were to differenciate some bad actors using this new technology to scam people from actual underlying tech
