FedCM in practice

[yoavweiss]

Session description

Smooth sign-up experiences on the web are essential for our users’ experience, and the fastest account creation experience is one where the user doesn’t have to create an account at all!!

While such experiences were powered by federated identity protocols using low level primitives in yesteryear’s web (e.g. third-party cookies, iframes and redirects), today’s privacy requirements lead to a new standard proposal to provide them with a more deliberate, safer and private binding - Federated Credential Management (or FedCM for short).

In this session we will briefly cover FedCM and how it does its magic, how it interacts with other efforts in the identity space, such as WebAuthn, and demonstrate real-life UX improvements that FedCM provides over the alternatives and discuss what can be improved in this space.

Co-hosts: @samuelgoto @gioele-antoci

Session goal

Clarify the role of FedCM in the identity ecosystem, demonstrate its advantages and gather feedback on the feature and its future direction.

Thank you for proposing a session!

You may update the session description as needed and at any time before the meeting, but please keep in mind that tooling relies on issue formatting: follow the instructions and leave all headings and other formatting intact in particular. Bots and W3C meeting organizers may also update the description, to fix formatting issues or add links and other relevant information. Please do not revert these changes. Feel free to use comments to raise questions.

Do not expect formal approval; W3C meeting organizers endeavor to schedule all proposed sessions that are in scope for a breakout. Actual scheduling should take place shortly before the meeting.
