The real story here is that OAuth has much wider and far reaching implications than just Twitter apps. I think we've reached the high-water mark of the number of logons and passwords we'll need to keep track of. I see a future not that far off where everything from Credit and ATM transactions to your Facebook and HN logins are all handled by OAuth.

- sh1mmer 18y agoOpenID actually has support for extensions that can allow you to require additional requirements of the AP (authorizing party). This means a bank could, for example, ask for multi-factor authentication from the AP. I doubt banks will accept generic identity providers in the near future, but I can see them allowing known players in the consumer internet space to provide multi-factor identification. At the least they could let you identify yourself with another provider and then add additional factors on their side.
