Please educate me. Does OpenID not represent a single point of failure for all my login credentials if I use it? Does OpenID not represent a beginning point for the aggregation of my participation in Internet communities? I don't like Unsolicited Commercial Email, also known as SPAM, but I don't want my authentication credentials easily disabled nor used to track my activity (part of my past employment included some professional paranoia, also known as security administration). If you implement OpenID, please also preserve existing account credentials. _______________________________________________ tos mailing list tos@teachingopensource.org http://teachingopensource.org/mailman/listinfo/tos
