OpenID opens up
Yahoo made a significant announcement today. They are going to support the OpenID 2.0 standard for universal Internet log-in for all their 250 million customers. For small niche companies like myguideIreland, myguideBritain et al. this is really huge. It’s a big ask for a small company like ours, to get our Guests to remember usernames and passwords.
What is OpenID?
OpenID eliminates the need for multiple usernames across different websites, simplifying your online experience.
You get to choose the OpenID Provider that best meets your needs and most importantly that you trust. At the same time, your OpenID can stay with you, no matter which Provider you move to. And best of all, the OpenID technology is not proprietary and is completely free.
