> Why not OpenID Connect?

Someone asked that in the comments of the article and the author responded with this link:

https://indieweb.org/indieauth-vs-openid-connect

The answer seems to boil down to IndieAuth being more decentralized.



Aha, one more bit of indirection ala OpenID v1 to make the base identity portable. I like it. Thanks for the link!


Not at all. The answer is that the guy is pushing for his own product and company.


There is no company and product, there is a community and open specifications.


The author works for a company in the Auth space, but said company has no products based on this specification, and it was created prior to him working there.
