I register myself on linux foundation using linkedIn and now I got advertisement of training on linux foundation platform. Imagine to "login with google" and google will never know you did it. We introduce an anonymous social login plugin to digital services to allow users use the secure way to onboard and register using thirdparty login, without notice them about it. Our goal is to wake the privacy awareness in users and tell the world, that social login can be anonymous and the data collected by them shouldn't be collected. Stop "login with google", start "login with google as verifiable credential".

Problem
- Onboarding processes are established on nearly every online service using social login via OIDC This is easy, but involves a central identity provider such as LinkedIn Facebook google etc, see this:
- The current solution is user friendly and everyone love to use it, mostly with an two factor authentication, which involves often the mobile phone and a password.
- The social login is integrated in the process like start-button on windows desktop, but everytime I use it, the central IDP notice this and can learn more about the behavior of the user. For example, I logged in here using linkedIn, so LinkedIn will provide me some advertisment arount linux foundation.
