I agree. If you've not yet seen them, please upvote meta.stackexchange.com/q/394456, q/230490, and q/318807. I've yet to see a request for FIDO2 support.

| May 5, 2025 at 4:06 | comment | added | Dima Pasechnik | the whole thing is weird. On desktop I tried opening a tab with stackexchange.com/users/268902?tab=inbox - it asked for login, and didn't offer GitHub option. When I went to here via inbox in a tab where mathoverflow.org was open and authenticated, it again asked for login, but did offer a GitHub option. Whatever inner logic there might be to that, don't you think that SSO (Single-Sign-On) problem is a long solved problem, or, as we progress, we actually go backwards? Why can't you always offer GitHub? | |
