Are
you
expecting
users
to
only
use
the
"directed
identity"
flow
of <br>OpenID
2.0?
If
not,
then
when
the
user
goes
to
the
RP,
they
will
enter <br><a href="http://openid.yahoo.com/myNormalYahooID" target="_blank">http://openid.yahoo.com/myNormalYahooID</a>
and
the
RP
will
have
then <br>non-encrypted
version
so
that
much
"personal
information"
will
have
been <br>released.
Of
course
the
"release"
of
the
id
was
under
user-control
so <br>no-worries
on
that
front.<br><br>Thanks,<br>George<br><br><a ymailto="mailto:sknvn-openid@yahoo.com" href="mailto:sknvn-openid@yahoo.com">sknvn-openid@yahoo.com</a>

As
others
pointed
out,
you
do
need
to
opt
in
to
use
the
openid
service <br>>
provided
by
Yahoo.
If
you
do
not
want
to
use
openid,
there
is
nothing <br>>
to
do.
Also
note
that
even
when
you
use
Yahoo
ID
to
sign
in
to
a
site <br>>
that
accepts
openid,
there
is
no
personal
information
being
shared.
By <br>>
default
only
an
encrypted
identifier
(e.g. <br>>
<a href="https://me.yahoo.com/a/D.GGRt8BtuO56ICRqYtp287qNA" target="_blank">https://me.yahoo.com/a/D.GGRt8BtuO56ICRqYtp287qNA</a>)
will
be
shared
with <br>>
the
RP.<br>><br>>
Separately
as
I
see
it
using
openid
only
helps
you
protect
your <br>>
information
(otherwise
you
have
to
normally
signup
to
other
sites). <br>>
What
are
your
concerns?<br>><br>>
Thanks<br>><br>>
Naveen<br>><br>>

From
what
I
gathered,
you
actually
have
to
activate
OpenID
voluntarily<br>>
on
your
Yahoo!
account,
so
it's
actually
an
opt-in
system...
like
you<br>>
want.<br>><br>>

When

How

Yahoo

I'd

I
respect
that.
I
think
that
the
