User not “logged in”, but user HAS an XR Pass / wallet (continued)

Wallet Benefits

  • Users now have a single place to store avatars (in their Solid storage pods), which is safely available to all participating servers
    • Single sign-on (we can still do emailing login links, etc) everywhere User has a choice in wallet providers and storage providers

Risks / Downsides

  • This tech, although on W3C standards track, is still raw / early
  • Possibly too many clicks?
