An open protocol (RFC 7033) for discovering information about people or resources using a simple HTTPS URI. WebFinger lets you look up who owns an account like acct:user@site.com and retrieve their public profile, keys, or social links without centralized login.
“The federated app used WebFinger to resolve the user's identity before sending them a message.”
