OpenID allows you to forget about having a ton of different usernames/passwords and gives you a way to log into a variety of sites using a url of some sort.

Unsure

I think its an interesting concept, but I haven't really given it a try yet.

Yes

signing in to websites

I would not want all my information in one central place or all my websites to have the same login. It would require a lot of trust in that company.

Unsure

I never heard of it but am interested to finding out what it is.

Unsure

Yes

It's an open-source cross-site ID system similar to the Microsoft Passport (for example.)

Yes

One creates an online identity and can use it on sites without having to register with different id's and passwords.

Sounds like a good idea.

Unsure

Yes

Unsure

you set up one ID and then it handles all your passwords / login info at all your sites

not sure I want to risk a hacker getting in and getting all my personal information, whether accessing financial sites as me or getting to personal files

Yes

Unsure

I think it's used to quickly enter names and passwords into websites.

I'm not sure what kind of advantages it has. My browser saves my login information so I have not problem entering it. If OpenID offers more security that would be good.

I think it is an open access identity verification system that's not linked to any one company (for logging in to multiple sites with one ID).

Yes

I have never used Open ID because I have concerns about storing my information online. I prefer to use RoboForm to store multiple unique logins offline in a protected environment.

OpenID is used to use the same username across different sites.

I'd like to try it sometime.

Yes

Unsure

I think maybe it is something that lets you log in once and it remembers and enters all your passwords for you when you go to websites. I could be mistaken though.

Unsure

Yes

I think it is a 1 username/ password that would be used across many different application or websites

Unsure

I have security concerns reguarding openid. If it is possible that a website using open id get compromised you would be effected in may other places.

Unsure

i have never heard of it before

Maybe this is your entire ID on a scanable card?

Yes

Unsure

I never heard of it, but I certainly hope it doesn't mean my ID info is open for everyone to see :)

It identifies you so that you don't have to continually log on and submit user id and passwords.

Sounds like a reasonable idea if security is insured.

194

Yes

OpenId is used to login with a single password into different websites.

I don't use it.

I would like to know about security risks in OpenID since if identity thieves happen to find out the password, they can log into almost all sites used by the individual.

Unsure

Curious as to what it is now!

Unsure

Yes

It's a login name that can be used for many websites without actually having a login to each specific site.

N/A

Yes

Nope. Thanks!

Unsure

No, I'm about to go look it up now.

Unsure

Yes

It is used such that a person on the internet only needs to know one userid/password, and all sites they visit can talk to the openId site to authenticate.

Doesn't seem very secure, if you ask me.

Unsure

I'm about to go look it up!

I think its a great idea, just not sure on the security, that's why I haven't tried it. Guess I will research more now!!

Unsure

now i kind of want to know what openID is...imma do some research.

Unsure

I am not sure what it is. I am not sure where the heck it would be for.

Unsure

Open to me implies the same meaning as "open-source" software such as Audacity, meaning anyone can have access to the code for their own purposes and also that no one is making a profit from it. I'm not sure how to fit that definition with the idea of identity.

I'd like to know more.

I might if I knew what it was :) Heading to google to find out.

How can I tell for sure whether I've used OpenID or not when I don't know what it is? I've surely heard of it. That confuses me mainly in Magnolia {bookmarking service} where I want to sign up, but I can't as it asks for OpenID. And until you mentioned above, it simply didn't occur to me to just search it up. Hell, after submitting this hit, I'm going to do that first and foremost. Anyways, thanks a lot for indirectly suggesting a move!!!

Yes

Unsure

from what i understand, its a multiple site log on system

Unsure

does the Microsoft LIVE services count?

Yes

The only concern i have about the service as i understand it is:

if someone WERE to hack the service they will have your access information to ALL of the sites that you connect to.

249

Yes

I just looked it up, but it's a system that allows you to have one username and password for every site on the web so you don't have to remember many different ones.

I didn't know about OpenID until now, but it sounds like a good idea. I don't think I would go for it, though. Only for security reasons.

I have never heard of OpenId and I am really curious what it is now.
