I recently saw a friend set up their atproto account and realized how confusing the whole system is. I wish atproto had a much better cross-app login experience. Is there any work being done to unify/improve the UI/UX of the login flow? I think I recall seeing some ideas but I can't find them.

It’s very confusing indeed. I think I own my “atproto data” but then I access it through various apps. So where is my data really? I’m techy enough and have used a PDS browser but it’s so hard to understand what I really control. I would love to have a generic “AT mobile app” that manages my /2

ATProto life. This should be the only place where I have a password and where I can decide which apps have access to my account and data. It would be the obvious place for a central login flow. Would this be possible?

Essentially, your PDS can do this. They could offer their own interface to your data and let you manage it right there, though management should mostly happen through app views. Technically the PDS also manages the central login but Bsky uses RPC calls to the PDS directly for some reason.
