I favor using independent accounts, but I never mind using OpenID for insignificant site access, when more sites were implementing it back then (not sure why it isn't used much lately).
- snuxoll 13y ago> (not sure why it isn't used much lately) Because it never gained traction and Facebook Connect pretty much killed it because it doesn't require setup of an additional service. Mind you, Facebook Connect is a big privacy and security risk, but it's much 'easier' to a user than setting up OpenID, which is why it won. I only hope Persona takes off, as it's a much better solution.
- baudehlo 13y agoI'd be so much happier implementing Facebook Connect if it gave me an OAuth scope that didn't include access to your friends list. I don't WANT that access, so why don't you provide a way for me to not look sneaky to your users?
- cheald 13y agoI avoid implementing OpenID because "auth anything" OpenID servers are a massive spam vector. Very annoying.
- drdaeman 13y agoHow do OpenID logins compare to "classic" email-confirmed registrations in this aspect? I think, there're way more disposable email services than non-authenticating OpenID servers.
