.. which can be different than the one you use at the open provider. For example, let's say you're using [EMAIL PROTECTED] to login on ubuntu-in.org. You will need to sign in on the same browser at xyz.com, you need to remain signed in, so that the session is in progress and it can be identified by the provider that you're signed in from the same PC. Then you are asked if you want to allow ubuntu-in.org to allow using that openid provider and further optional details that you would like to divulge. The password you provide at ubuntu-in.org need not be the same as the one for [EMAIL PROTECTED] ubuntu-in.org will never know what password is being used at xyz.com. Thus, ubuntu-in.org doesn't have any extra information other than the one you provided. So, is the case with many of those spamming sites likes like twitter and so on. They can't have your password unless you explicitly give them. All those invites you see are from ignorant people who give away their passwords for a stupid reason. I am subscribed to twitter using the same email address that I am typing this email from. -- ubuntu-in mailing list ubuntu-in@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-in
