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
