Single sign-on

[pcuci]

How to single sign on between different services, can we hijack the login so users need not sign in for every microservice.

See how Disqus requires you to sign in on http://bettermtl.github.io/event/tlmux-jaime-levy-what-is-ux-strategy.html - imagine a future RSVP service, it too will have it's own sign in.

We can argue multiple sign-ins from the same page is better for privacy, so it's not all bad. A constraint/bug can be re-framed as a desired feature: only sign in to the parts of the web-app you really want to use - highly modular.
