Let's Clarify some Misunderstandings around Sign In with Apple

tl;dr This is a good move for users in the iOS ecosystem, and is primarily designed as an alternative for apps that currently use "Sign in with [Facebook/Twitter/Google]" to avoid leaking sensitive user info.

Alright, if you are curious about "Sign In with Apple," I walk through exactly how it works and what it looks like in this post.

Reading all these tweets of people freaking out about Apple requiring apps to use "Sign In with Apple" and feeling another "authentication is not authorization" rant coming. Lots of misunderstanding of sign-in vs accessing APIs. #WWDC19 #OAuth

Initial test of the "Sign in with Apple" API:

• It's more or less based on OAuth + OIDC
• Their documentation is missing a lot of key info to use it right now, I had to guess at a lot of things
• The `sub` claim includes some sort of unique user identifier, not an email

Better Default Security for IndieAuth Login Forms

Last year, I posted a JavaScript snippet that I've started using in all my projects that have an IndieAuth login form, which will automatically add the http scheme if you type a plain domain. This is particularly a problem because the iOS keyboard doesn't include the : character in URL mode.

Browser APIs have gotten so much better lately! Way easier to do @oauth_2 PKCE in a browser now:

✅ good random number generators
✅ secure hashing functions

Just missing a good base64 encoding function. (Check out the ugly hack in the post.)
