[OpenID] FW: general Digest, Vol 26, Issue 57

[SitG Admin]

>OpenID does not mandate that sites you log into automatically know 
>anything at all about you except an identifier by which it can

Additionally, only *that* site needs to recognize you on your next visit:

>With none of that mandated, OpenID still gives you the ability to 
>log in with just a single username and password across the web.

And let's say you're willing to give up this convenience: NOTHING is 
preventing you from having more than one ID! You can easily use one 
OpenID per site, preventing those sites from connecting your ID at 
one site with your ID at another site just by comparing notes.
