@Odin: I'm preparing a migration to a new server with PHP5 which should support the OpenID plugin. Keep your fingers crossed!

Too bad that you had to disable it.

It's working swell on many sites I use. It's a good step to get better identity on the web. I hope you'll try again after a while. :-)

Scott: I was joking, but someone can steal the token.

Think about it. Folks may not want to see it, but this reduction to a single fallible point makes you more fragile.

More curious. If I hit one of the pencils to edit my last post, the OpenID register/login works. If I use the login link in the article above, it does not work. If I try to logout with the link just above the Leave a Reply box, it fails with the message "You are attempting to log out of BlenderNation." But I can go to 'site admin' at the top and log out from there.

One aditional note: when attempting the login with the link in the article, BN does not get as far as requesting permission from my provider. So much fun

When I tried I only get part of a page back. That page has the title: "OpenID Authentication Redirect" and only loads part of the head (two stylesheet links and a style tag for .updated-error).

@Cub, that depends on your id provider. I use Verisign which uses a hardware token that I bought to change my password every 30 seconds. They also have options of using apps on your cell phone or browser certs. There are other providers that have challenge/response schemes that make stealing a password just the first hurdle a cracker has to overcome.

Wonderful, now a single password theft can screw you all over the Internet.
