>I've never used a more simple SSO system before.

really? you've never seen the countless amount of "connect with <facebook|google|yahoo>" using oauth?

They have one step less, are totally not federated, don't allow you to use your own email and have a bunch of downsides for the user. But they are simpler.

(also, I remember logging in with yahoo/google email+openid years ago, that was exactly as simple)

I don't use Facebook or Yahoo, and wouldn't trust either of them to authenticate with a site.

but you trust google, which I listed in my previous comment. Also openid+email worked the same way with custom domains years ago the same way.

I do not understand your reply, sorry.
