OpenId-Do you have it???

How many times have you just come back from a site without any information because the information you need is locked behind a username and password. And you don’t want to waste time registering with the site and having to manage another username and password. What if you change your contact information like address and phone numbers and have to make the changes to all the sites that you frequently use. Isn’t it frustrating and time consuming????

Imagine… What if you had a single username and password combination that you can use for all the sites….

Well actually you don’t need to be dreaming about it.

OpenId is here….

You can have a single OpenId username and password that works with all the sites that support OpenId platform. You just have to signup once with an OpenId provider and you are done. When you need to sign in into any site, you provide them with OpenId provider name and the user interface will take you to the provider authentication module where you put in your account details and provider will do the validation and redirect you to the site you wanted to surf. You will have all the controls that a normal user will have in that site. There are many OpenId providers available and even bigger number of sites that support it.
