It looks like a combination of client side JavaScript and server side configuration. So if it's a new JavaScript API, I don't see the harm as it's up to the web site sysadmin to implement anything that may use it. And in the end, it doesn't look all that different from a dozen other APIs for authenticating credentials from OpenID, FaceBook, Google, etc. I'd be curious to hear what you and the original poster find objectionable in its design and/or implementation. -Gary -- http://gnuzilla.gnu.org
