We've looked in to it in the past. While it isn't on the current "must do" list, I do believe that we should give it a second look. |

Why not go with passport or some other service that has more users than openID? Passport has a HUGE userbase since Microsoft's services such as hotmail, live, etc all require the user to signup with passport.com - and it is known to be very secure. Just a thought. I don't know how many users on FW are already registered with OpenID... but I don't know anyone from my close circle, so I am guessing based on that.

Just a minor correction: Nothing is ever known to be secure. It's only not known to be insecure. I would like to see more sites support OpenID, and FW would be a great one. I would not use Passport if it was offered, and would stop visiting FW if it was required. I'm trying to avoid software that's not free (as in speech). OpenID is, and Passport from Microsoft isn't. |

I would also not use passport...it's fine if you trust Microsoft, but many people don't. Personally I don't see the big deal having an independent login, just set FW to stay logged in. |

are you supporting only 1.0 openid spec? You should know that it has serious security flaws. I suggest supporting openid 2.0. This allows the user to just type in yahoo.com Also when I type in yahoo.com in the openid url, it tells me I'm signed in but I'm not. |

This allows the user to just type in yahoo.com We're supporting OpenId 2.0 as well. You're right about the yahoo thing, it's doing that for me too, I'll look into it. If I log in with my full yahoo OpenId url it seems to work... |

At the risk of the universe imploding upon itself, I will quote myself: 'yahoo.com' is working for me now, I log in and pick my OpenId identity. |

Agreed totally. Thank you for not making the cookie expire for FW, making us log in again after X amount of time. I just store my password in FF and never need it anyway. Open ID isn't important to me here. |
