Hi WebKit-Dev,
We've been working on a Web Platform API that allows users to login to
websites with their federated accounts in a privacy preserving manner.

We've been calling it FedCM (was WebID) and we would like to hear what you
think!

Here is our explainer, spec and a brief introduction:

WDYT?

One specific area of coordination is its relationship to the Login Status
API and the Storage Access API. We'd be happy to learn more from you about
both of these APIs and how they relate to FedCM, but just as a starting
point, here [1

<https://github.com/fedidcg/FedCM/blob/main/explainer.md#the-storage-access-api>]
is our interpretation of each.

Looking forward to hearing from you,

Sam
