Log to all fediverse instances with the same account. Sharing login and cookies? (lemmy.ml)

I was wondering how could a fediverse software make it so that if a user logs in an instance he is automatically logged in every other instance that he visits.

I think for this every instance would have to share the credentials and cookies with each other. So for example when a user registers the information is shared with all instances to store that user.

"all instances" - as in literally all of them? I think even sharing credentials and cookies between a couple of instances is a risk that shouldn't be written in code.
