  Have you considered using IndieAuth (https://indieauth.spec.indieweb.org) which does the same now?
  
  I’ve implemented it on my personal site (https://github.com/shurcooL/home/issues/34) and I’m very happy with it. Especially during GitHub outages.
  

  Here's some background on why this solves the particular problem you're talking about in this thread: https://aaronparecki.com/2018/07/07/7/oauth-for-the-open-web

  STILL.

  Neat! Seems to still have the URL pasting problem though. How is that UX different from openid, which users didn’t like?
  

  That problem can only be solved by browsers.
  
  Right now, most of the time the browser autocompletes my URL because I've entered it enough, so I'm not actually typing it out. With any amount of thought, browsers could automate that just like credit card payment forms.

  If login were automated like credit card forms, it would fail about 50% of the time and need me to enter a page full of unnecessary personal information by hand. That’s not a good model.
  
  Why not let me enter an email address instead? That has a domain in it.
  

  Why is entering an email address less work than entering a URL? What I'm saying is browsers could have an "account chooser" UI to save a URL and enter it in the login field.

  Yes, it used URLs instead of email addresses. It was ahead of its time. (Nowadays non-nerds people are more likely to identity with or share their Facebook or Instagram or Twitter or GitHub handle than an email)

  That creates a chicken-and-egg problem: browsers won't adopt it unless it's popular. It won't be popular unless browsers adopt it.
  
  Chicken-and-egg problems create usually-insurmountable barriers to adoption.
  

  That hasn't been true for years. Browser vendors are pushing new features that they want or think will be helpful. Here are some examples: https://github.com/WebKit/explainers

  I propose we rename Google messaging services with the year of release, just like a copy of Madden or FIFA.
  
  The provides for easier tracking and better communicates the ~yearly lifecycle of these apps.

  And we're about to have to integrate login into browsers to make anti-tracking efforts like ITP actually work. I don't know exactly what that'll look like (or what URL to point you to yet...) but please keep your eyes open and help make sure we don't screw it up.

  I'll definitely keep my eye out for this! It'd be great if you could post something to the OAuth or OIDC mailing lists when you have a proposal too. https://oauth.net/about/community/

  Yep, don't trust the ATEM mini webcam output just yet, so I'm taking the HDMI output from the switcher and running it through the U-TAP into the computer.
  

  fwiw I've put my ATEM Mini webcam output through over 100 hours of use at this point, it's solid!

  dang, that's good to hear! you running a Mac? what streaming software are you using?
  

  Yeah primarily on my 2019 13" Macbook Pro using Zoom, Webex, and on24. I don't bother with OBS because if I'm just pushing out a stream I do it with a dedicated encoder out of the HDMI port on the Mini.

  Today I discovered that my website's tip jar was being used to test stolen credit cards. There were hundreds of attempted $1 charges over the last week. Thankfully @Stripe rejected most of them and only a handful went through, but I'm still stuck with $37 in processing fees. 💸

  Sucky. What mitigation are you able to do to prevent this?
  

  Only thing I could think of was to switch to manual capture of the charges. So I won't actually charge ppl unless I actually look at the charge first. That'll stop me from paying the txn fee that isn't refunded when I refund a charge.
