- nicksergeant 15y agoOpenID is going up in a smoke for the new version. Back to traditional accounts.
- avidal 15y agoMind explaining why? I don't really need yet another account.
- nicksergeant 15y agoOpenID is a PITA to support on the backend. It's another layer that doesn't need to exist. A bunch of providers are doing away with OpenID, like Slicehost, 37signals, etc. From a UX perspective, I'm not convinced OpenID is any more convenient than a traditional u/p. I use 1Password to manage my logins, it works perfectly. For many other reasons, everyone should be using 1P or some password management program, as well.
- nicksergeant 15y agoActually, Slicehost might not be getting rid of it. Not sure where I got that info.
- cmelbye 15y agoI truly do not understand the point of OpenID if the website is just going to ask you to provide sign up information that it could've just asked for from your OpenID provider.
