- scald, on 12/01/2007, -2/+20Die Microsoft Passport! (Or Windows Live ID, or .NET Passport, or whatever...)
- unloud, on 12/01/2007, -1/+13Hell yes! Now it's Digg's turn! OpenID linking please!
- rastakid, on 12/01/2007, -0/+4It can't die because it's a decentralized system. You could run your own OpenID service if you want. The only 'bad thing' that could happen would be when major parties drop support for it.
Besides, does Firefox allow you to change your passwords across 20 sites at once? - xtc46, on 12/01/2007, -1/+3It will definitely be nice to have a single username. Its a pain trying to reclaim my ID everywhere.
- Atomic1fire, on 12/01/2007, -1/+3the fact that there can be multiple providers so your not tied to one company and that you dont even need a company to have an openid because if you wanted you could host it yourself or use your own domain and select any id server currently hosted so you have the option of switching providers while keeping the domain
and that the technology is open because its not tide to licensing fees and what not because anyone is free to implement it by themselves using open source code - laut, on 12/01/2007, -0/+2There is a problem: having the same username/password on different sites makes your password vulnerable. Alternatively you can maintain a long list of different username/password combinations for different sites.
- Atomic1fire, on 12/01/2007, -0/+2actully if microsoft has an openid server (which it probably will considering it has implemented an experamental one)
passport will live
except services that use it will probably be compatiblie with google too - NatashaCall, on 12/01/2007, -1/+2Looking forward to it!
- tybris, on 12/01/2007, -1/+21 You spoof the resolving name server
2 You spoof the name of the OpenID server
both are indeed fairly easy - loconet, on 12/01/2007, -0/+1because it's really easy to spoof blogspot.com ...
- inactive, on 12/01/2007, -0/+1Does it work as a consumer? if not its practically useless. Producers are plentiful, and it seems that every social networking site is slapping in a producer. We have all these OpenID's but nowhere that will let you log in with them other than a few blogs and OpenID test sites like jyte.
Article seems to have been dugg to death :( - inactive, on 12/01/2007, -0/+1Kevin Rose announced that Digg would be implementing it this year. Presumably, they're waiting for OpenID 2.0, which should be finalized very soon.
- Atomic1fire, on 12/01/2007, -0/+1actully existing blog users can just log in to draft.blogger.com and diy with the settings
it just wont be setupable with regular blogger but it will work on a blogger blog that had it done
so existing blogger owners just goto draft.blogger.com and goto comment settings and click the part that mentions openid - unloud, on 12/01/2007, -1/+1( sorry for all the exclamation marks. I got excited‽ )

- tybris, on 12/01/2007, -2/+2The fact that anyone can authenticate as anyone by spoofing DNS. It puts the system wide-open.
- digitalhippie, on 12/01/2007, -2/+1The problem with OpenID is that there are more sites that use it than actual users. Hopefully with Blogger more people will start to adopt it.
- tybris, on 12/01/2007, -3/+1Hooray, soon the world will belong to the DNS spoofers.
Name based authentication was debunked in 1995 (written in 1990).
