| > Don't do that, you are spreading FUD about OpenID. OpenID isn't a Google or Facebook choice. Its many more and under your control, your choice. It's statements like that that make people think an open identity platform isn't worth implementing. In September 2013, Janrain announced that MyOpenID.com would be shut down on February 1, 2014; a pie chart showed Facebook and google dominate the social login space as of Q2 2013.[67] Facebook has since left OpenID; it is no longer a sponsor, represented on the board, or permitting OpenID logins.[15][68] source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenID Generally everyone moved away from OpenID in favour of OAuth and even when they were implementing it most big companies were just OpenID providers, thereby totally defeating the openness part. Based on the above, I could safely say, it's not worth implementing OpenID. I would suggest doing research on the topic before making bold statements like this. > We need to stop giving emails and passwords out to 200+ sites and wondering why we get spam and regular password resets. Sure, let's just use Facebook and Google logins everywhere I'm sure nothing bad could come of it aside from the NSA getting full access to EVERYTHING that we use then. If you are bothered by spam and the likes, just register yourself a throwaway email account. |
