It is a pain to use and understand, even for a techie like me.
When it works, it's magic. And often I don't mind--especially since facebook's implementation of it.
When it doesn't work, I've no freakin idea what is going on. And it really makes me miss the plain ol login/pass.
- justlearning 17y agoi can relate to that - with logging with openid here in HN. I had to post an "ask hn" to catch attention of pg - who resolved it. I couldn't make head or tail of what was happening and strongly assumed that clickpass was at fault. Then pg said he had to fix some code.
- mcav 17y agoOh. I, too, had an issue logging in with OpenID here. I finally gave in and reset my password so I could log in with that.
- JimmyL 17y agoI have had no problems (or difficulties) with OpenID - set up an account on myopenid.com, pasted two lines into the source of the root page of my domain that delegates to myopenid, and then I just use that.
- kniwor 17y agoI haven't come across a scenario where openid did not work. Care to elaborate? I think of openid as the git of the login systems. Elegant in it's simplicity but comes with a minor learning curve and the benefits of climbing the learning curve far outweigh the cost of doing so. And very much like git, it takes 15 minutes to get over the learning curve if you are good with google and/or have some guidance.
