[OpenID] Clickpass: Making OpenId easier

[Immad Akhund]

Hi Nat,

Clickpass does quite a few things that Yahoo! doesn't; in order to try and
make the OpenID experience smooth for the user and easier to implement for
sites. From the user side

- Clickpass submits a different OpenID for every site, so we can do login in
one click. The yahoo procedure is more cumbersome.
- Provides a consistent interface to allow users to merge/signup to accounts
on the relying party
- Gives a nice launch page to log in to your common sites
- Lets you easily save and use OpenIDs from different providers
- Gonna add a bunch more things, like security, more attribute exchange
stuff etc.

For sites

- We support OpenID 1.1 still which more sites are compatable with.
- We work easily with multiple OpenID providers
- Make it easier to implement OpenID by trying to take care case of he
merge/signup stuff for new users
- And again we got a bunch more things in the pipeline, including better
stats etc.

Hope that helps. Yahoo definitely took a step in the right direction, we are
hoping to do a lot more.
