[OpenID] Your OpenID is destined to be your email address

[Brian Kissel]

Google, AOL, and MySpace offer the option to pass email addresses, Yahoo is in final testing.  Many of the smaller OPs like myOpenID, Verisign, Vidoop also offer this option.  The end user always gets to choose if the email address is passed.  Many RPs require an email address to register a new user, so OPs need to accommodate that need or force the end user to register with an OpenID then manually enter an email address, which is tedious especially since most OPs have an email address for their users.

Cheers,

Brian

If you have read my articles, nowhere have I stated the your email address or
any other information is provided without your determination. Let me make
this clear. The OP provides the email to the RP only after asking the user.
And your arguments are exactly what the proponents of OpenId have put
forward for the last two years, and OpenID hasnt reached anywhere, has it?
