Yahoo Implements OpenID
Yahoo announced they will support and integrate OpenID. This is a big push forward for the OpenID project.
OpenID eliminates the need for multiple usernames across different websites, simplifying the online experience. Not only does it make life easier, it does increase overall authentication security for the involved web applications.
Let’s hope the other big online players do also include this. To get started using an OpenID, get one at e.g. myopenid. Once you have an OpenID, you can use it at a number of sites.
I you have a blogger account, it can also use your blog’s URL as an OpenID URL.
It’s dead easy: I just created my OpenID URL at Verisign and published my details to the OpenIDDirectory. I did the latter already signing in with Verisign’s OpenID :-).
