[OpenID] FW: Facebook Cooperation with German Email Providers?

[Luke Shepard]

Hey Chris,

Good question - the general feedback for OpenID was pretty positive. Peter Martinazzi, the engineer who implemented it with the GMX side, said:

"
It was a pretty easy process.  The main difficulty was small things (change this in the UI, make sure to sign all of your info...) would take a whole day until they could be fixed since we were in different time zones.  If anything, using OpenID helped to make life easier because it mitigated a lot more of the small things that would have happened if we were integrating with some proprietary protocol.  So overall, Id say the OpenID was easy for them to implement and helped to prevent having to deal with more over night round trips.
"

But in no circumstances does the user enter their Facebook password anywhere but Facebook. We are using OpenID to avoid the password anti-pattern.

Music to my ears! ;)

Did you get any feedback from the GMX folks on implementing OpenID?
