> Instead of a username/password dance, I can just click 'verify' and be logged in to a 'web3' website.

So just like using a password manager but currently incompatible with most websites, I see.

So, to be clear, you think OAuth are projects that have no place in the ecosystem because of things like password managers?

OAuth certainly has its uses and works fine on 'web2' sites that implement it, without any need for a cryptocurrency wallet.

I don't think comparing OAuth2 against "blockchain something" is fair in response to GP's "but currently incompatible with most websites"

I don't know what the other technology you were trying to draw parallels against, but this argument is off on the wrong foot IMHO
