BrowserID looks interesting, but what about on public terminals? The average user may not understand that they're logged in to your site and BrowserID, and as such would leave themselves mistakenly logged in.
See the BrowserID demo site - http://myfavoritebeer.org/ http://myfavoritebeer.org/ - as an example of this. Once you're logged in, the "logout" button does not truly mean logout - anyone could log you back in in two clicks.
- StavrosK 15y agoThat's a good point, they need a "public terminal" option at browserid.org. I'll email them now. However, considering that it's pretty easy to add two-factor authentication to the provider (in this case, browserid.org) using Google's open source libraries or any other way, I'd say this is a huge net plus. After all, logging in via Google, Facebook, Twitter or any other such provider has the same weakness.
