FedCM: disconnect

Category

Miscellaneous

Type

New or changed feature

Status

Enabled by default (Chrome 122)

Intent stage

None

Summary

Allows disconnecting a federated login account via the relying party website. With the disconnect API, a relying party may notify the identity provider that a previously used account is now disconnected, and hence using that account again via federated login would require treating it as a new account.

Motivation

An RP may choose to disconnect a federated account, which requires the first-party IDP cookies. With the disconnect API, the RP can revoke federated logins that have happened via the FedCM API.
