Why is typing something like maximusklein.gmail.com and logging in with google more complicated than maximusklein@gmail.com.
People keep saying over and over again that open ID is too hard for average users, but I just don't see any evidence that this is the case.
- maxklein 18y agoBecause I know clearly what one is, but I am unsure what the other one is. To me, the URL is a webpage. And it's not clear to me how a webpage is going to log me into another webpage if I am a user. Users don't see URLs as URLs, they see them as pages, like on a newspaper. So OpenID is based on a concept that alien to users.
