Hi<div><br></div><div>Thank you this is valuable information. Clarifying questions:</div><div><br></div><div>Do you mean by protecting users identity that users should stay anonymous? Google directed identity provides users email to the relying party so the mechanism does not provide anonymity always. </div>
<div><br></div><div>Personally I have seen directed identity valuable from usability perspective as it provides easy way to sign in as you do not need to be copy pasting your personal openid url. </div><div><br></div><div>
I thought OpenId provides users globally unique indisputable id (url) and not just a way to avoid multiple passwords? </div><div><br></div><div>Regards,</div><div>Tommi</div><div><br></div>
