<div class=Section1>
<p class=MsoNormal>Based on some of the rather more detailed solutions I’ve
read about today, I have hacked a rather simple idea for something I thought
may be useful.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>It is basically a plug-in to the browsers (Bookmarklet just
now for all and a toolbar for FF and IE in the works) and it allows you to check
whether the OpenID provider you have been asked to enter your details into is
indeed the correct provider. It tells you if there is an issue with the
provider.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Currently I have added a check for OpenID.org, myOpenID.com
and claimID.com (for no reason other than it’s getting late here). So
just add the bookmarklet (toolbars are in the works) and when you are asked to
log into one of these sites click the “WebCheck” button to perform
a quick check.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Details at:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><a href="http://www.openid.org/apps/webcheck/default.aspx">http://www.openid.org/apps/webcheck/default.aspx</a><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I have no idea whether this will be useful or a ton of
issues will spring to mind but figured if I throw it out I’ll soon find
out (and save energy if of no use!).<o:p></o:p></p>
