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

it
using

only
helps

protect

How

Yahoo

this.

I
