Matrix.org Will Migrate to MAS

Matrix, the open protocol for secure decentralised communications

MSC3861(Next-generation auth for Matrix, based on OAuth 2.0/OIDC) and its dependent MSCs have progressed sufficiently that the Foundation is confident in MAS and the new next-generation auth APIs.Specifically, all the MSCs are now in or have passed Final Comment Period (FCP) with disposition to merge! This is incredibly exciting, reflecting 4 years of work on next-generation auth, and brings with it a new account management interface, additional security, and a better registration experience. It will enable new forms of authentication flows, like QR-code login (coming soon to matrix.org with MSC4108), and new categories of applications building on Matrix, thanks to fine-grained control over client access to the account.
