The traditional sign in method has been the norm and asking consumers to change their habits is not that easy. Consumers have learned that a user name is their ID and a URL is a place to go and it will be a pretty difficult task to educate them on Open ID. The "open" concept is great for techies/developers but not for the consumer. A consumer wants his ID to be "secure". Only the savvy people are most likely use Open ID because they understand and know how to use it ...unfortunately they comprise a small percent of the total internet population. It will take mass use for Open ID to become a success.</div></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "> </div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; ">Open ID sounds great, but in my opinion, it¢s not really ready for the mass. I am pretty sure that its going to take a long time to get everybody on the bandwagon and if and when Open ID becomes the norm we will definately implement it on XeQure.</div></div><br>_______________________________________________<br>general mailing list<br><a href="mailto:general@openid.net">general@openid.net</a><br><a href="http://openid.net/mailman/listinfo/general">http://openid.net/mailman/listinfo/general</a><br></div></span></blockquote></div><br></body></html>
