OpenID Sucks

Uses don’t understand how to use it. Not a surprise. I tried it an made the exact same mistakes. First, it’s not like MS Passport at all. You don’t use the user and password part. You use a separate blank. And what do you put there? A URL! What URL you ask? Any OpenID supported site. Just so you understand. You want to login to soccermomsonice.com with OpenID, so you find the OpenID blank and type in “yahoo.com”. Sure, you magically login, but it seems really strange, and it only works if you’ve already logged in to so OpenID site from that machine already. It must. How would soccermomsonice.com know that “yahoo.com” means you and not me, when you use my computer?

Destined to fail.
