[OpenID] Phishing? Web browser integration?

[Alessandro Preziosi]

Thanks for the interesting links. I'm glad to see we're moving in that
direction.
Anyway I'm afraid it will still remain "complicated" for common people to
use it. I just saw this video:

a browser is...

> Hi everybody,
> A couple of days ago I used openID for the first time.
> It was on a low traffic website and when i clicked on the button it

> Before doing so, I double-checked the address because I'm aware of phishing

> I think we're kind of lucky that openID isn't widespread, otherwise many

> accounts (paypal etc.).
> I think this is a MAJOR flow, and the only solution that i see would be to
> try to integrate openID in the browser in some way, to make phishing
> impossible.
> Any ideas? Any comments?

> Have a nice day,
