- ssulistyo, on 01/18/2008, -3/+102When will digg support OpenIDs?
- Salviati, on 01/18/2008, -7/+42I realize this post will probably make it to the Front page even though it was submitted hours after the initial story was posted. But if you're going to dupe, at least don't use the exact same title. Original: http://digg.com/tech_news/Yahoo_Implements_OpenID_ ...
- frontporsche, on 01/18/2008, -1/+26My provolone cheese has security holes?
- ilgaz, on 01/18/2008, -1/+26Yahoo means 248 million users added. That is a service which is even supported by AOL and Microsoft. It is really interesting that Slashdot, Digg kind of highly technical sites doesn't implement it.
- AmazingAndrex, on 01/18/2008, -0/+19The problem is always Norton.
- ypSami, on 01/18/2008, -1/+17Cite your source. I don't care what Ron Paul warns you about.
- SneakyPhil, on 01/18/2008, -0/+16Your problem is Norton.
- AmazingAndrex, on 01/18/2008, -0/+15You're the cancer that is killing Digg.
- c5kirk, on 01/18/2008, -0/+12Please elaborate.
- SteveMax, on 01/18/2008, -0/+12"you cant hack me i got norton"?
- pyromanx, on 01/18/2008, -1/+13Hopefully soon. We need more sites that use OpenIDs like http://tinyid.us and http://pibb.com not more providers. I guess it's alright if it spreads awareness.
- gamebittk, on 01/18/2008, -3/+14Agreed. I went ahead and dugg the other one, and I suggest to others to do the same.
- johnnyfatstacks, on 01/18/2008, -4/+14dugg the original post, buried this one as a duplicate
- HerrEisenheim, on 01/18/2008, -0/+10No, you aren't the only one. This is a very bad idea for Yahoo.
Look, I love OpenID. It's a great concept. It's great for things like WordPress and LiveJournal, and would work great for something like Digg or YouTube. If one of those accounts gets compromised, it's not the end of the world.
Yahoo often has your credit card information. They have mine, that's for sure. They have my real address on file, and a whole bunch of other stuff. If I used there email, I'd also be concerened because that's a big deal to me.
OpenID really isn't a good solution for unifying accounts. It IS a good solution for commenting on other sites, or participating in ways that really aren't terribly important if compromised. - Jazzydee, on 01/18/2008, -0/+9Not to mention that if you have a key logger on your system, even the passwords to accounts that aren't related to OpenID (for example, your bank accounts) are going to be stolen too. So the only passwords they aren't going to have access to through a key logger are passwords you never use and so never type in while the key logger is there.
Losing your OpenID account is going to be the least of your troubles. - chrisxkelley, on 01/18/2008, -0/+9I thought he asked you to elaborate... not state the same thing again.
- vrillusions, on 01/18/2008, -1/+9They forgot to mention that right now yahoo is just a provider. There are tons of sites that will give you an openid, it's the openid consumers--the places you can actually use an open id to login--that needs to triple. Who cares you have an openid if there's no where to really put it to use
- bcat, on 01/18/2008, -0/+8I used to like it too. Then I changed my email address.
- ypSami, on 01/18/2008, -2/+9In all practicality, your argument falls flat in that most people use the same logins and passwords anyways. OpenID is just the formalization of such a practice.
- ypSami, on 01/18/2008, -1/+8I quite like that practice to be honest. It's better than remembering some arbitrary string.
- ypSami, on 01/18/2008, -0/+7There are plenty more needs for tracking cookies. Dugg down for ignorance.
- frontporsche, on 01/18/2008, -3/+9do you? I don't.
- JSatt, on 01/18/2008, -0/+6Myvidoop.com - OpenID provider i've been using for a few months. Key logging can't happen with it because it uses image categories with random letters each time. You also authorize the machine (thru a code sent to your email or cell phone) before you can login from that machine. It's VERY secure and i've been waiting for bigger sites to start using openid for a while so this is great news.
- johnnyfatstacks, on 01/18/2008, -3/+9dugg the original and buried this as a duplicate story
- darknesfallz, on 01/18/2008, -1/+7errm.. am i the only one thinking, what if someone manages to hack into your open-id account? You are then basically screwed as hell cause now they have access to all your accounts.
- cactus476, on 01/18/2008, -0/+5WTF's with the dup?
http://img181.imageshack.us/img181/8904/openidkx0. ... - asauterChicago, on 01/18/2008, -0/+5I wish I could digg you four more times...
- chrisxkelley, on 01/18/2008, -0/+5"So because a lot of people drive while drunk, we should just formalize it and require everyone to do it?"
I didn't even read the rest of your comment because that line was so retarded. - ypSami, on 01/18/2008, -0/+5Preach on Brother Andrex...
- Louisd11, on 01/18/2008, -0/+5Could be something cool, but remember boys and girls watch wat sites you "relate" it to cause then your future employee are going to be looking at what sites you visit just like how they go on myspace now. :(
- grexeo, on 01/18/2008, -1/+5OpenID works in a completely different way to Windows Live / Passport. See http://openid.net
Sorry to see you go. - geddon, on 01/18/2008, -0/+4Let's get this up and running so that we can institute the OpenID card before the National ID takes our privacy away from us!
- aliguana, on 01/18/2008, -0/+3because your Yahoo openID would be clickwir@yahoo.com. someone from another network would be clickwir@livejournal.com or something. different names, essentially. (thats how it works, right? or am I barking up the wrong tree)
- NebCanuck, on 01/18/2008, -0/+3Instead, I can just worry that they are smart and figure out that I use the same ID and password for basically everything, anyways, because I don't wish to need to write down a list of all my different IDs for fear of having someone figure it out...
- ThirdPrize, on 01/18/2008, -0/+3surely one of the ways of measuring a sites popularity is the number of active users it has? I oculd make an OpenID site tomorrow and say, yeah, i have several million users.
- Roundbadge, on 01/18/2008, -0/+3If they really added true support for OpenID, they'd let me use/associate my already existing OpenID account to my Yahoo account.
I do not need yet another provider - I need places I can use my OpenID. - SurrJRS, on 01/18/2008, -0/+3Verisign's OpenID (PIP) let's you use a token fob for authentication (like that of RSA's SecurID). You can buy a token from PayPal for $5 that will work with PayPal, EBay, and OpenID enabled sites (so long as you use Verisign as your OpenID provider.)
- lukasmach, on 01/18/2008, -0/+3>> most people use the same logins and passwords anyways
Yes, newbies and amateurs use same login/password on every site. The point of the original comment is that the percentage of such people will be a lot lower on digg//.. - harlowsmonkeys, on 01/18/2008, -0/+2I didn't see anything in there about going the other way--will I be able to use my existing i-name or the OpenID ID that AOL provides with my AIM account to identify myself TO Yahoo?
- BlaenkDenum, on 01/18/2008, -0/+2Yes, it isn't always emails either, they are usually sub-domains or URLs from OpenID providers, and you can even make it so that your own site URL is your OpenID, which is really nice.
- eean, on 01/18/2008, -0/+2AOL has done this for ages. Probably many of these supposed new openid users already had AOL accounts.
The real milestone will be when a big name site like Yahoo decides to accept other openids. It doesn't really seem to be in their interest until users start to expect sites to do it. - makis, on 01/18/2008, -0/+2provolone doesn't have holes.hemmental has!
- pyromanx, on 01/18/2008, -0/+2I think it's the users that don't know how to moderate given these options. Your post sparked an argument. I wouldn't bury that because people should be reading your post and those below it. Maybe the system does suck. I think reddit gives weight to posts with replies and shows more replies by default. Digg comments will soon be close to those of youtube if people keep this up.
- pyromanx, on 01/18/2008, -0/+2Thats what I use after reading this nice article about how to do it. http://codespatter.com/2007/10/02/secure-your-open ...
- geddon, on 01/18/2008, -0/+2No that's correct. OpenID's essentially "phone home" to verify that you are who you say you are.
- jisatsusha, on 01/18/2008, -0/+2You're probably smart enough to not get a key logger then.
- pyromanx, on 01/18/2008, -0/+2He may be referring to the phishing weakness. Someone can have a site where you log in with OpenID. You enter your id in the field, the site figures out your provider and spoofs the page making you enter your username and password.
There are ways around the phishing attack, but they are as user friendly. Versign makes you be logged in to their site before trying to log into another site. - init100, on 01/19/2008, -0/+1"Nothing like consolidating the intire internets user base into one easily accessable database."
Except that OpenID does not use one single database. Instead, each individual can choose his own OpenID provider, and the provider has the ID database. Anyone who feels like it can set up their own provider too. - Coded1, on 01/18/2008, -0/+1Start a story I'll digg it.
- DairyCreamer, on 01/19/2008, -0/+1Lets see, verify through Yahoo that your a Yahoo OpenID member... and then get signed into the website you requested. Fun, that just means the more websites with accounts through OpenID means less hours spent hacking someones entire life.
Take your thumb out of your ass, and start sucking on it. -
