Would something single sign on (SSO) even be possible? I think the convenience of having a single account for the family of federated platforms would be wildly convenient.

Of course folks could continue to have individual accounts on each platform if they wanted.

I also understand that it would create a very tempting target for hackers and it would need to use MFA (multi factor authentication).

Just a thought and I would like to see you all have to say.

This could be something that could be incorporated into the development of this process. I would love that too.

If I suddenly didn’t like the way an instance is doing their administration I could move easily.
