LOL that's a good video! Funny, i always misread MyVidoop and used to pronounce it my-video-op. I had this strange idea that it had to do with videos!

not sure what you mean. this solution, in the video, it won't let me know who sold my email address so I can stop giving them my business. I use a different "virtual" email address for every site I sign up, if I get spam, I know who's the guilty site and I can boycott them. It also makes it easy to block this "virtual" address so I don't recieve spam.

That is why you get a Junk Email for signing in sites and a private email for friends that way you don't have to deal with the ads and all that fun stuff.

the authentication part is fine but the email part is wrong, I don't want to use the same email for every site I sign up for. There are many solution to the too many users and passwords problems. this soluiton requires sites to implement it, that's never going to happen with enough sites to become a real solution for the user (and the big ones will not want to do this at all) isn't this like cardspace? (or whatever it was called) I'd rather use a plug in that saves my passwords locally

This is a disaster. There exist several ways to gain access to any server that checks with an IDP : One way that is not impossible is by using DNS poisoning so the service asks a fake IDP about "is this dave ?" ( or anyone else you wanna gain access for ) and always get yes answer.

Superb explanation for noobs. I'll stick it in my blog so I know where to find it! Thanks, myvidoop.

never heard of myvidoop before but this is a good intro 101 to openid - well done.
