ins the context of the RP's site, which is the biggest complaint that w=
e've received with BBAuth, OAuth, and OpenID. =A0Facebook, Yahoo, many =
others have UX research showing that the redirect is a very jarring experie=
nce, and the success rate can be dramatically improved by moving to a popup=
 flow.<br>

<br>
As far as I can tell, an independent popup window, with the address bar dis=
played, has the same characteristics with regards to phishing, as the full =
browser redirect. The popup window does not prevent OPs from deploying anti=
-phishing technologies, and I believe that the popup will drive more widesp=
read usage of OpenID, which will also increase demand for anti-phishing sol=
utions.<br>

thanks<br>

OpenID is already criticized for its exposure to phishing and spoofing<br>
attacks. If this approach is taken in the way it seems to be described,<br>
we will pretty much ensure that no one that has medium to high value<br>
transactions or services will be interested in implementing OpenID.<br>
