Maybe you can look at Sign In with Apple, it works native and for websites too. https://developer.apple.com/sign-in-with-apple/

I really love the privacy- and security-centric design of Sign In with Apple, but so far it only works if you have Apple hardware, right? Tailscale's selling point is you can use it on all your devices (modulo Android support which isn't released yet).

Quoting from the page linked above:

Sign in with Apple works natively on iOS, macOS, tvOS, and watchOS. And it works in any browser, which means you can deploy it on your website and in versions of your apps running on other platforms.

So it at least sounds like it can be used anywhere with a web login flow. Although the docs say this must be accomplished using their JS library, as opposed to a standard OAuth2 flow of some kind: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/sign_in_with_apple

Cool! Maybe it's more doable than we thought.

FWIW I setup tailscale a few days ago with an iPad mini, iPhone, and Mac mini server. I don't know how many networks would be "Apple Only", but I would certainly prefer a quick Apple Sign in button vs. using Google.

This, please! I'd personally prefer username/password auth, otherwise I believe that this is the most privacy-focused option.
