How to Improve OpenID Usability

• thorax 18y ago
  I'm still not sure why it wouldn't be something that can double (or look like) an email address. It has drawbacks, but it wins on usability because everyone is doing it today. Even if Yahoo said your openid is: thorax@openid.yahoo.com people are going to remember that a lot better than: http://openid.yahoo.com/users/thorax http://openid.yahoo.com/users/thorax (or whatever their syntax is now). I really want something like OpenID everywhere. That's why I hope/want Clickpass to get traction because it's much closer to providing an email address as a login option.

    Great suggestion. It'd also be awesome if you could do something similar for your own domain, so you can sign in with your personal address everywhere.

      This is precisely what OpenID IS!

        Where I can use my personal email address as a login on any site?

  Are they still trying to force that open id stuff onto the web? The people said no already, many times and with conviction. Give it up, Open ID has already failed. Nobody likes it, we don't need to be 'educated' on it.
