Sign-in with Ethereum is a decentralized authentication method that enables users to control their digital identity with their Ethereum account and ENS profile instead of relying on a traditional username/password authentication that is controlled by centralized entities
EIP-4361
The Ethereum Improvement Proposal related to Sign-in with Ethereum is EIP-4361, which sets out the technical specification for the idea.
ERC-4361: Sign-In with Ethereum
Sign-In with Ethereum describes how Ethereum accounts authenticate with off-chain services by signing a standard message format parameterized by scope, session details, and security mechanisms (e.g., a nonce). The goals of this specification are to provide a self-custodied alternative to centralized identity providers, improve interoperability across off-chain services for Ethereum-based authentication, and provide wallet vendors a consistent machine-readable message format to achieve improved user experiences and consent management.
