User Story: Service collecting username, dynamically disclosing options for explicit authentication flow w/without federation service

[achimschloss]

User story

As a user I'm asked by a service to sign-in/up, initially I'm presented with a choice to provide my preferred username to proceed (there is no differentiation between sign-up or sign-in at this point). I'm providing my username preference, the service dynamically exposes me with options to proceed depending on this being a sign-up/sign-in, the services preferred federated login option(s), prior user choices to leverage federated login, characteristics of the username, ...

I'm opting to proceed with a federated login, the service initiates an authentication/authorization flow providing my preferred account to the federated login provider (c.f. _loginhint) which runs me through a typical flow resulting being signed into the service (i.e. returning assertions about my identity to the service as authorized by me) .

As a user I'm not expecting that my username/account preference needs to be provided multiple times during this process, if already done at the service initially. As a user I'm expecting that the provided username is processed for the purposes of signing-in.

Context of the story
