What is OpenID All About?
OpenID means the elimination of multiple user names and passwords and a smoother, more secure, online experience. For businesses, this means a lower cost of password or account management, the opportunity for easier and higher numbers of new user registrations and the elimination of missed transactions because of user frustration with lost and forgotten passwords. OpenID allows for innovation in the authentication space beyond just using a password to "unlock" your OpenID identity, but the ability to strongly protect your OpenID and have that benefit move with you everywhere you go online.
