Jargong and OpenID
Tuesday, September 2, 2008
Weīre happy to let you know that the upcoming version of Jargong is supporting OpenID.
OpenID is an identity technology that let you sign into different sites with a single name and password. It makes surfing the web more simple and secure for you.
If you want to implement OpenID on your site (which ofcourse is a good idea) here is my two cents:
1) Be a consumer. Donīt even think about being a provider before you implemented the consumer part. - OpenID needs more consumers not providers.
If you want to be a provider later thatīs fine but start with letting everyone with an existing OpenID sign on first.
The last thing OpenID needs is a another provider that doesnīt support sign on with existing OpenIds (Hello Yahoo and all you others..).
2) Donīt do it the wrong way and only support a few "secure" providers (Hello Microsoft..) the open in OpenID means you should support every provider.
We donīt want to end up with having multiple OpenIDs for different accounts and sites.
