What is OpenID?
OpenID allows you to log on to many different web sites using a sing digital identity, also known as “single sign-on.” Once you sign up with a trusted OpenID provider (such as Clickpass, MyOpenID.com, Yahoo, Google, Orange, and others), you are given a digital identity that looks like a web address, such as http://myname.myprovider.com. When a website supports OpenID, all you have to do is provide your OpenID URL. The site then checks with your OpenID provider to verify your identity. Your provider will typically ask that you enter your password and add the destination site to a list of trusted sites. With that done, you can then access the website at any time with your OpenID URL. For more information, visit OpenID.
OpenID is an open, decentralized user identification standard that allows you to log in to many services across the Internet with the same digital identity. Instead of having to remember multiple logins, you can simply create, maintain and use your OpenID. Please visit www.openid.net/ to learn more and to find out where to get your OpenID.
