<p><strong><a href="http://blog.stackoverflow.com/2010/04/openid-one-year-later/">Stack Overflow Blog: OpenID, One Year Later</a></strong></p> Google’s support is a huge deal—61% of Stack Overflow accounts use Google. Google’s implementation of directed identity has caused problems though, since Google provide a different OpenID for each domain making it hard for Stack Overflow, Server Fault and Super User to correlate accounts. Their solution is to require a (verified) e-mail address from Google OpenID users using sreg and use that as a key for the accounts. <p>Tags: <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/directedidentity">directedidentity</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/email">email</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/google">google</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/login">login</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/openid">openid</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/registration">registration</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/sreg">sreg</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/stackoverflow">stackoverflow</a></p>

<p><strong><a href="http://openid.net/pipermail/general/2008-January/003967.html">Yahoo! OpenIDs are the same for all RPs</a></strong></p> I had assumed that Yahoo! would be using directed identity to provide a different OpenID for each user/site combination, to prevent correlation of accounts. I was incorrect; they’re just using it for easier sign-in, with the same auto-generated URL used for every site. <p>Tags: <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/directedidentity">directedidentity</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/openid">openid</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/yahoo">yahoo</a></p>

<p><strong><a href="http://openid.net/2007/12/05/openid-2_0-final-ly/">OpenID 2.0 Final(ly)!</a></strong></p> Launched at the Internet Identity Workshop. The most interesting feature is probably directed identity, which goes a long way to solving some of the usability issues involved in users having to enter their own URLs. <p>Tags: <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/directedidentity">directedidentity</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/iiw">iiw</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/openid">openid</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/openid2">openid2</a></p>
