how about openid?

OpenID LogoWho should I use for OpenID?

I'm not even completely sure that I'm going to use it, but I want to check it out. I know there are a bunch of providers for it, but who do I choose? Technically I already have one from my Flickr account, but is that what I want to use?

For anyone thinking, "Just RTFM." - I am. I've been on the OpenID site, and I've listened to the Security NOW! Netcasts about it as well.

While reading up on this, I signed up for MyVidoop. It looks like it's pretty well covered, and was listed on the OpenID list of providers. I wonder what Steve Gibson thinks of it...

Do you use OpenID? If so, who with?

...umm, sorry? I wonder if Steve's gotten requests for it. He must...
I have to admit, I laughed when I read that.

... myopenid.com mostly because I saw that other people in my internet-field-of-vision were using it more than any other provider.And I don't really give a damn what Steve Gibson thinks, because that SOB refuses to put ShieldsUP on a static, never-changing URL, which means I need to look at his "hello 1997 called, they want their internets back" website whenever I want to use his otherwise-excellent service.
