What is OpenID?
OpenID is an open, decentralized standard for user authentication and access control, allowing users to log onto many services with the same digital identity. It is a Single sign-on (SSO) method of access control. As such, it replaces the common login process that uses a login-name and a password, by allowing a user to log in once and gain access to the resources of multiple software systems.
Why OpenID?
Are you tired of creating a new account on every website you use? Do you avoid new websites because they come with yet another username and password?
OpenID is an open technology standard that solves all of these problems. The OpenID technology will allow you to use your Yahoo! account or Any OpenID providers to sign in to hundreds of websites!
Once you enable your Yahoo! account for OpenID access, you can simply tell any OpenID enabled website that you are a Yahoo! user. You will be sent to Yahoo! to verify your Yahoo! ID and password and then signed in to the website. Its that easy!
