What is OpenID?

Friday, February 22nd, 2008

OpenID eliminates the need for multiple usernames across different websites, simplifying your online experience. With one OpenID you can login to all your favorite websites and forget about online paperwork.

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.

OpenID Foundation announced that Google, IBM, Microsoft, VeriSign, and Yahoo! have joined the board. Here are some places you can visit to see where you can use your OpenID to log in today:
