One aspect that's been overlooked is that single sign-on is only the beginning of what OpenID makes possible. Once you've got an identity that you can use across website boundaries, all kinds of network effects open up.
- brlewis 18y agoA common identity would be powerful, but also dangerous, for the same reasons people oppose national ID systems. I notice that by default Clickpass creates separate OpenID URLs for the different sites you authenticate to.
