I didn't think much of it, but after using it for a week, I wish it was used everywhere. To those of you who haven't used it, try it out before condemning it.

It's really nice to login with the click of a button (no typing usernames and passwords) and signing up is usually a one click action as well.

- jomohke 17y agoUse another OpenID provider, such as https://www.myopenid.com/ https://www.myopenid.com/ Or you can host your own. See here for a good list: http://openid.net/get-an-openid/ http://openid.net/get-an-openid/ I initially wasn't too impressed by OpenID, but I was sold by the third site I got to use my login. It's value is really tied to the adoption by sites. It's especially nice on small blogs: you don't have post anonymously if you are averse to signups.

This allows you to change the underlying implementation at any time.
