Why do we need SSO?

Passkeys seems perfect to me. Easy sign on anywhere I sign up. No central whoever that knows every time I log in anywhere.




Passkeys are great(-ish) for authentication, but don't offer identification at all.

It's just not in scope (and I think that's a good thing; the two problems are pretty different, and WebAuthN is already extremely overloaded with features serving conflicting goals).
