The decentralization of Single Sign-on seems like a natural step in improving usability and accessability of the fediverse. It will require a lot less account and make it far easier to interact with content. Are there anybody working on this?

Isn’t this exactly what OpenID Connect is/was all about? Afaik this is still the protocol behind the “log in with facebook/google/github” options you find on many websites, but it can be a fully decentralised authentication scheme if they’d only let users type in their own identity url.

I don’t disagree with that, but there’s nothing preventing anybody from setting up their own OIDC service, and for sites to accept any OIDC provider rather than just a couple of giant ones.
And yeah, the Hubzilla Magicauth is really nice! Not sure how easy it is to apply it to other uses than Hubzilla/zot though. Could be worth exploring.
