I don't like the idea of having one identifier which can be used to tie together all information about me - because linked data provides an unwarranted amount of power to people who have access to it.
I think 'an internet drivers license' would basically become an ID card.
- jomohke 16y agoYour email address probably already links all of your online accounts. Unlike an ID card you can have as many OpenID accounts as you wish – they can be freely created just as easily as email addresses. The solution is the same as for email: Give a different account to each site.
- lwhi 16y agoThat's true - and the identifier token sent as verification can vary as well iirc.
- mcantor 16y agoFTA: If all I want to do is leave a comment on a blog -- like, say, this one -- then one of the weaker forms of identity will surely do. If I'm starting a new bank account, or setting up a profile on a dating website, then maybe a stronger credential from my virtual wallet is necessary.
