Building simplicidade.org: notes, projects, and occasional rants

OpenID

I've switched providers of OpenID. I was using ClaimID, but now I'm using MyOpenID.

The anti-pishing features are great, specially the personal icon feature. It basically sets a cookie on your browser, with a picture URL, and shows you that picture on the login page. If you don't see the picture, then the site didn't get the cookie, and the URL is probably fake. Simple and effective.

I've also gained OpenID 2.0 and XRDS support, which is nice.

And given that I was already using simplicidade.org as my identifier, I only had to update the <link>'s on that page to point to my new provider.

OpenID delegation FTW...
