I've gone so far as to do the DNS boogis and make my site an affiliate, but I have yet to get my Chyrp! powered blog logging in OK, so that is a stumbling block. I pinched some of your code from booksiamreading, but even I can see that's not quite right for a chyrp login - any chance of a pointer or two? Don't sweat it though, just thought I would chip in since you are interested.

With that said I would take full advantage of OpenID, starting with the fact that I get to chose my provider. Not all OpenID providers are equal, I work for Vidoop and we have an OpenID provider at http://myvidoop.com that aims to help you eliminate passwords altogether. myVidoop offers a two factor authentication solution using our ImageShield technology that requires no passwords. We also have a browser plugin for managing your traditional logins/passwords, support OpenID delegation and have lots of other neat features. claimID, Verisign, and others listed at http://openid.net/get are solid providers as well. I do not think people hate OpenID, they just hate the current implementations. It is a testament to the technology that adoption has continued to increase so steadily w/o good usability and a super compelling use case. With all of these issues are being worked on it should not be long now before we see the open web really take form. Cheers, Kevin I would, without a doubt, unequivocally, every time, chose to go with OpenID vs. a traditional login/password.
