Would something single sign on (SSO) even be possible? I think the convenience of having a single account for the family of federated platforms would be wildly convenient.

Of course folks could continue to have individual accounts on each platform if they wanted.

I also understand that it would create a very tempting target for hackers and it would need to use MFA (multi factor authentication).

Just a thought and I would like to see you all have to say.

Asking after having this discussion.

    Yes, this would be nice. You can use .well-known redirects so that when someone searches your owned name they get redirected to a Fediverse account of your choosing. And you can update those redirects if you change accounts. But that’s not quite the same.
