IndieAuth

IndieAuth is an open standard decentralized authentication protocol that uses OAuth 2.0 and enables services to verify the identity of a user represented by a URL as well as to obtain an access token that can be used to access resources under the control of the user.[1].

IndieAuth is developed in the IndieWeb community and was published as a W3C Note.[1] It was published as a W3C Note by the Social Web Working Group due to lacking the time needed to formally progress it to a W3C recommendation, despite having several interoperable implementations.

Implementations
gollark: Just that they hadn't yet fused.
gollark: I did not mean that the two things were separated, to clarify.
gollark: Flour, and because those need to be baked properly to work, which isn't a concern in this scenario.
gollark: Why does that matter? What if they're in some environment a millimeter apart through some contrived method, such that they probably will soon?
gollark: But the two separate things *could be used* to do that.
