ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

IndieAuth

IndieAuth is a way to use your own website to sign into other websites. It combines your website, a service that identifies you, and a service that lets you prove who you are. To use IndieAuth, you create a link on your website that tells other websites, like a login page, that they can trust you. The link uses a special code called a token to show that you are who you say you are. The websites then ask you to confirm your identity with a service like Twitter, Facebook, or Google. After you do that, the websites will let you log in with your website. It’s like having your own special password that works on all the websites that recognize you.
