OpenID Pro and Con
After crowling some websites and since we planning on using OpenID, here’s what we’ve found:
PRO
- Email is generally not required for most OpenID-enabled sites currently.
- No email back-and-forth. Convenience
- Keep track of which sites have what information centrally
- Stop typing in all your personal info again and again
- Your OpenID can actually build up a reputation because it is linked to you.
- Site-wide registration. With OpenID you can authorise the entire domain, then each service, provided it has OpenID support would automatically be authenticated.
- You probably already have one
CONS
- Though you have one, there are not many places to use it (yet)
- The sign-in process can be very confusing and jarring to users
- With OpenID, even thought you can maintain multiple identities, you are inherently tying a lot of services together and thus losing some amount of anonymity
What do you think? You can respond in Romanian as well :)
