[OpenID] Google and FB users can login to Yahoo! using OpenID and FBconnect - from tomorrow

Mon Jan 24 08:45:45 UTC 2011

Thanks Kick. It'll take some time to think and write down use cases and 
decisions that we made during this process. Current implementation is designed 
to help users who don't have a Yahoo! ID to engage and sign-in to Yahoo! easily. 
Over the next few weeks we'll look at the metrics and see how many new users we 
are seeing/signing up vs existing users who are linking the accounts. 

We do plan to support other OPs in the future but based on a number of factors 
we decided to go with G & FB in the beginning.

Thanks

Naveen,

First of all I would like to congratulate and thank all of the Yahoo team for 
this major and visible openid implementation. This is what really our talks with 
other potential RP’s hesitating to implement.

As we have seen  from a previous post from Eric Sachs 
(http://openidsamplestore.com/) and reaction from Allen Tom, there are some 
really interesting questions popping up regarding account linking during 
implementation.

Is it possible to share some of your decisions on this on a more detailed level? 
(different use-cases to be solved, identifier, forgot provider, registration 
attributemapping, incomplete etc..) I also wonder if your decision to support 
only google and facebook is part of this, or that this is only a targetgroup/ 
strategic decision.

Your feedback would really help in educating other RP’s on how to implement.

Thank you,

Kick

Thanks Brian. 
We are live now. You  all can give it a try. 
If you already have a Yahoo! ID, I recommend linking it with your Google or FB 
ID otherwise you'll end up with two separate accounts. I know many people had 
asked for this where you can use Google ID or FB to sign into your existing 
account. If some of you want to try various flows I suggest using test accounts. 
:)

Do let us know any feedback.

Thanks

Naveen

Hi All,

Some of you may have already seen this in the news today but in case you missed.

http://developer.yahoo.com/blogs/ydn/posts/2011/01/third-party-auth/

You will be able to login to your existing Yahoo! account using OpenID with 
Google or using FB account. Of course if you don't have an account, you can 
login to Yahoo! with G or FB ID ( without selecting a password or a Yahoo ID). 
If at a later time you do want to get Yahoo! mail, you will be able to select 
Yahoo mail ID and a password.

I'll send out a note  when this is live tomorrow. 

Thanks

Naveen Agarwal

Subject: [OpenID] Flickr users can now login with a Google account via OpenID

Hi All,

Flickr now lets users login using a Google Account using the OpenID protocol.

More info here:
http://blog.flickr.net/en/2010/10/28/sign-up-for-flickr-with-your-google-account/

http://developer.yahoo.com/blogs/ydn/posts/2010/10/yahoo-accepts-openid-authentication-with-google/

http://googlecode.blogspot.com/2010/10/simpler-access-to-flickr-for-google.html

This is a big win for OpenID and for open standards, and  hopefully we'll see 
more large sites accept 3rd party identities using open standards in the future.

Allen
