[OpenID] Opt out of Yahoo OpenID?

Hi George,

We do expect most users will use the "directed identity" flow of OpenID 2.0 as it will be much easier.  But if they do enter the complete OpenID URL (whether it is auto generated one or not) on the RP site, the flow should still work.

Thanks

Naveen

Are 
you 
expecting 
users 
to 
only 
use 
the 
"directed 
identity" 
flow 
of 
OpenID 
2.0? 
If 
not, 
then 
when 
the 
user 
goes 
to 
the 
RP, 
they 
will 
enter 
http://openid.yahoo.com/myNormalYahooID 
and 
the 
RP 
will 
have 
then 
non-encrypted 
version 
so 
that 
much 
"personal 
information" 
will 
have 
been 
released. 
Of 
course 
the 
"release" 
of 
the 
id 
was 
under 
user-control 
so 
no-worries 
on 
that 
front.

Thanks,
George

Separately

see 
it 
using

How

Yahoo
