You should take a look at https://github.com/WICG/email-verification-protocol and https://github.com/w3c-fedid/FedCM ... they also share a lot of the historical lessons learned with Mozilla's BrowserID.

Yeah, websites can choose any other identity provider, and in fact, do.

This sounds super interesting! I'd love to beta test it if you are looking for people to try!

At this point, wouldn't "email authentication" simply be OpenID?

Fair point on the point on the term polyfill. Done, replaced it with "JS renderer" [1].

Maintainer(!) here, reading the comments! Can you help me understand what you'd expect? I can't really find the "inductor" you are referring to and the "C" character that seems off to you. Care to expand a bit so that I can try to fix?

Neat! Want to send a PR with some of these diagrams as examples?

Many diagrams I am able to draw manually as I'm editing source code on emacs, but for more complicated ones I tend to use this: https://asciiflow.com . To each their own, so pick your favorite ASCII editor.

Done, merged a patch to clarify that it is absolutely the latter: this is an implementation from scratch with completely different rendering passes, design and SVG output structures.
Does that help?

Re:Ask HN: Can Browsers Have a Universal Hotkey for Website Login?

Some of us are proactively working on this problem [1]. Not trivial, but I think we are making forward progress to reconcile and mediate login in browser UX.
