[OpenID] Fwd: Yahoo open id URL and which PHP Library

[Allen Tom]

Hi Abhi,

Yahoo OpenIDs of the form https://me.yahoo.com/a/<blob> are machine 
generated identifiers that are automatically generated for the user. 
They cannot be changed.  Because Yahoo is an email and IM provider, we 
did not want to generate OpenIDs that disclosed contact information by 
default, as that could lead to spam and spim issues.

Yahoo users have the option to create customized OpenIDs using their 
YahooID, or an alias for their YahooID. Yahoo users also have the option 
to use their Flickr Photos url and MyBlogLog Profile url as their 
OpenID. Users may have multiple Yahoo OpenIDs for a single Yahoo 
account, but they can only have a single machine generated identifier.

Let me know if you have any more questions about Yahoo OpenIDs.

Thanks,
Allen
