users,
when offered OpenID login on a site they are more willing to register =
then
without. It's only the authentication which is "outsourced" =
not the
user base itself. That's a point which needs education perhaps.<br>

Allow only providers you trust. It's easy as that.<br>

This is a valid point and most popular blogs, forums require some extra =
work to
have OpenID login. Certainly for implementing your own login facility. =
Until
the big web applications don't ship OpenID built-in (like WordPress, =
Phpbb
forum, wikimedia) this is a hurdle.<br>
<br>
<br>
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p><span lang=3DEN-US>With the same argument, point 4 is also not =
totally valid! A
user understands who to trust, and build up that trust over time. With =
big
players like </span><a href=3D"http://openid.yahoo.com/" =

think this
barrier is gone.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=3DMsoNormal><br>
I don't view Yahoo as a secure provider, sorry.<br>
<br>
<br>
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p><span lang=3DEN-US>And if you say OpenID implementation is =
complicated, you
need to look around. The </span><a =
href=3D"http://openid.net/developers/"
target=3D"_blank"><span lang=3DEN-US>developers section on openid.net =
</span></a><span
lang=3DEN-US>could be a good starting point.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=3DMsoNormal style=3D'margin-bottom:12.0pt'><br>
That's a lame argument. For many implementation is impossible or very
burdensome. See above...the most popular web applications need to ship =
OpenID
built-in!<br>
