LiveJournal Founder Launches OpenID System

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the who-are-you? dept.

geekdreams writes "Brad Fitzpatrick, the founder of LiveJournal, has launched OpenID, an 'actually distributed identity system' for websites that accept user comments. The system utilizes decentralized servers to authenticate users, and aims to replace centralized ID systems such as Microsoft's Passport and SixApart's TypeKey. The first implementation of OpenID can be seen on LiveJournal comments pages." Previously mentioned on Slashdot, now out of development.

    What the hell are you talking about? This system is obviously optional, you can still log in to sites if you want to.

    It provides and added and useful feature. I HATE creating accounts with each damn forum I visit.

    I love the behavioral tests bit.
