I was researching a few months ago on having Authentication for web based on Public/Private keys, like we do on SSH.
Sadly I haven't found some standard, only Webauth based on Hardware tokens (And some implementations for Mac and Win10) but more for 2FA.
@eaplmx I _think_ the problem is "Key Management" is quite a hard problem. This is why efforts like keys.pub were spawned out of the graveyards of the 'ol KeyBase that got bought out by Zoom that literally no-one with any common sense trusts anymore!

@prologic hey! Keys.pub sounds good, I've found a few other plugins/entensions/proposals, and I think they are kind of complicated for the developer and for the final user, when you can add a quick Social login with a few clicks. Not saying they are better, only more convenient. ๐
BTW, Have you played with keys.pub? How is using it in some Web site or Desktop app?
@eaplmx I havenโt played with it extensively from a dev perspective yet but it works quite well from a user point of view. ๐

@prologic Thanks! I'm playing with it, looks interesting!
@eaplmx We've (by we I mean @fastidious and I) toyed with the idea of "private and encrypted" feeds if you will, but it _may_ be a silly idea, we haven't taken it very far (_if at al... yet..._) ๐
