I'm exploring a new idea called FediOTP (codename): an authentication system that uses #ActivityPub DMs to deliver one-time passwords, allowing any #fediverse account to authenticate with web services. Unlike current solutions that rely on specific APIs (#Mastodon, #Misskey), this would work with any ActivityPub-compatible server, increasing interoperability across the fediverse. Would love to hear your thoughts on potential challenges or use cases for this approach.
@hongminhee洪 民憙 (Hong Minhee) Hmm…you should take a look at Owncast. They do this already to authenticate to chat. It’s one option of several, you can also authenticate via IndieAuth. I’ll spin up a live stream and demo it if you’d like.
If you have a fediverse account, you can quote this note from your own instance. Search https://mastodon.social/users/box464/statuses/114402402564384572 on your instance and quote it. (Note that quoting is not supported in Mastodon.)
