Comments on: OpenID me http://ycoolthing.com/archives/591/openid-me One Cool Thing from Yahoo! every weekday Mon, 06 Oct 2008 22:33:34 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.2 By: Jeffrey http://ycoolthing.com/archives/591/openid-me#comment-1233 Jeffrey Thu, 31 Jan 2008 20:37:13 +0000 http://ycoolthing.com/archives/591/openid-me#comment-1233 The flickr sign-in ID idea is great! The one thing that I think still needs to be proved to the community is security. Is using one set of login crudentials secure? Will there be more robust password conventions and backup security measures? Perhaps there should be an ultra secure, multi factor authentication protocol just for changing a password. That way, if your openID password IS compromised, it's slightly more difficult for a hacker to change it and totally lock you out.... I also love that with a few lines of code, I can make my own domain into an OpenID url.. great! -Jeffrey The flickr sign-in ID idea is great!

One of the hopes is that by offering this, we can encourage more places to accept OpenID (including ourselves). It's not perfect, but it's a step in the right direction. Yeah, that is a problem.
