Hey, thanks for filing an issue, but I would rather not have a feature request issue in here for every missing feature that is not on the immediate roadmap, so closing this for now.

[bwindels]

Probably best to raise and discuss feature requests in #hydrogen:matrix.org come to think of it.

As discussed with @bwindels

He suggest :

Adding a method startLogin(server) to SessionContainer that returns a Login object to which the response from the server is passed. Depending on the flows, it could have an sso property and password property with objects that have methods for those specific login mechanisms

And for UX and Component structure, we came out with two suggestions :

• 1st
  Make the current LoginView is the root of the application which takes the homeserver URL Then load buttons of supported login methods that linked with individual view for every method.

LoginView
  homeserver field
  if supported: PasswordLoginView
  if suppoted: SSOLoginView

• 2nd
  Make another parent component for the current LoginView called for example ClientConfig that takes homeserver as a user input gets the supported methods and render LoginView shows all supported login options just like in Element web.

ClientConfig
    homeserver field
    set state
    LoginView

Was a bit overly optimistic of me to mark this as a good-first-issue, the changes are quite involved and there isn't a lot of documentation to work with.

I have made some notes on how I expect the feature should work on https://github.com/vector-im/hydrogen-web/blob/master/doc/impl-thoughts/SSO.md
