<div>I was never originally very excited by user-centric identity or the notion of the self-signed CA of SSL website (earlier) - coming partly from the highly indoctrinated, yes-sire, no sire, govt world of centralized security policy management, big sticks, mega-money, and reams of audit paperwork that nicely masks over the (typically wide) cracks - to suit the desired governance doctrine of the day.</div>
<div> </div><div>But, over the years, folks of the cryptoanarchy lilt did persuade me to recognize their cause - mostly because no harm has actually emerged. And, a certain novel trust doctrine emerged furthermore - based on low assurance crypto, and low-assurance key distribution. It scales in a manner which I think W3C founder-class thinkers once-called “webby”.</div>
<div> </div><div>Anyways, I don't hear much about “user centric” identity today. Perhaps the funding has gone away, as most folks seem to be taking a trickle of silver coin hoping for the talons of gold on offer from Augustus’ treasury. So I thought I’d go retro and just now consider the openid pitch of a few years ago (remembering who used to say what, back then). If one plays with those discarded ideas NOW - using modern forms of the technology - what can one now do? Note I way sne, not we - hoping to capture the individual as a person, distinguished from you as some corporate “subscriber”.</div>
<div> </div><div>I asked myself: is there a role for user centric identity any longer in the openid community? If so, what can one build in a day? (See <a tabindex="-1" href="http://wp.me/p1fcz8-35W">http://wp.me/p1fcz8-35W</a> for my own effort). Since the UCI term has no real meaning these days, I interpreted it in the sense of a DARPA working in the early internet: get to “survivability”, for the individual. </div>

<div dir="ltr">Well I should give apologies to Google, as there IS a local login function in its account creator wordpress integration. Though ...it did take a week to find it. If you type a local account name into the box labeled "email", it does a classical local login (with local password challenge). <br>
