Re: Identity providers as first parties

Define "help" :-)

I can tell you that as an identity provider, there is no way I would silo
this data as that would cause huge problems, e.g. I detect someone trying
to compromise your account via one access mechanism and there's nothing I
can do because it's siloed off? Or I can't rate limit authentication
attempts because each third party is separate? Not going to fly.

In other words, define what you mean by "those extra things."

The entire concept of a federated identity system, for example, is to segregate the identity provider from any processing tasks beyond identity authentication. I would not expect an OpenID identity provider, for example, to suddenly become a 1st party simply because I used it to sign in). The role of that provider should be completed once my identity has been authenticated.
