[OpenID] New Amazon Shopping Site uses OpenID

[Steven Livingstone Pérez]

I was forbidden by the wife to buy any more books so not played around much recently :-)
Mainly struck me as it's a site completely separate from Amazon but uses OpenID (rather than the usual sub-domain usage i've seen). When i looked at Google's equivalent http://www.boutiques.com a while back it used vanilla uid/pwd (not even google auth).
Be interested to see what other major players are using OpenID as the primary auth mechanism now.

Not really news (not intending to be dismissive). Amazon has had OpenID parameters in their login for quite some time now ... just log in and out of amazon.com ... given the newness of myhabit, you likely just did notice.

I've not seen many other major companies using OpenID in the wild as directly this - certainly a pleasant surprise.
