Do you think if SSO was possible across Federated platforms that it would help drive adoption of decentralized platforms like Lemmy, Mastodon, Pixelfed, Kbin, and others? (reddthat.com)

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.

No, any server instance could support sso as long as they agree on the protocol. If the one you're using now turned it on tomorrow you'd be able to use it elsewhere.
