[OpenID] Feedback requested: New OpenID RP login UX prototype

Sat Oct 31 23:40:22 UTC 2009

Everything works, Andrew. Im making an improvement suggestion, merely. The
suggestion allows the model to showcase "parallel" account linking more
easily. 

I logged in fine (using login button), using myopenid. After a logout, I did
the same with google OP. 

I logged back in then using myopenid, and went to my profile. It showed
myopenid as a bound openid. (Other form elements want me to register local
account details, showcasing a merchant site picking up from the user profile
information not delivered by an OP.)

At THAT screen (just below the display of my  myopenid identifier) there was
an openid text entry box.

I took this box's presence as an invite similar to the invite from the plaxo
site in  similar circumstances . There, it invites the user to link a second
(or third) openid - to the account currently in view. 

I got frustrated (with myself, note), because I wanted to now try out
linking a google openid to that very same account (so the UI would showcase
linking both myopenid and google to the same record). 

I just could not remember the google URI one needs, however. So, I asked:
would THAT post-signin, "profile display" screen benefit from a button that
fires up the nascar popup, allowing me to select google (much as I did at
the login button on the home page)?

Hi Peter,

I must be misunderstanding you, because it sounds like you were looking at
http://openidux.dotnetopenauth.net/ and tryin to log in, logged in with
Google (using the Google button), then went back and tried to log in with
the text box, and got frustrated with it because you didn't remember how to
log into Google with the text box, and then suggested a NASCAR to help with
that.... but there's a Google button just above that text box, so... I must
be misunderstanding you.  What's frustrating you?

having logged in using myopenid, the profile page showed my current login
token. The same had happened earlier, with a Google based signin.

There is also an openid uri typing box. I wanted to use it to see the
parallel account linking process in action. I got frustrated with that UI,
because I could not remember the magic uri that invokes google OP. Might
want to have there a button that invokes the nascar display, much like the
infocard button.
