My Opera News

I keep getting

'Server Error

on http://demand.openid.net/login :/

The original link doesn't even load for me.

The site's dead at the moment, but it sounds pretty cool.

How did Chris Messina get first. VIP invite?!? Non the less *demanded*


- openid.noteme.com -

Working now :)

I never really trusted OpenID and since the "Debian OpenID desaster" I'm even more skeptical.

What disaster? Are you talking about OpenID or OpenSSL now?

Two words..
Do it.

Ø.Ø

Surprise #2 of the day. I guess I have to work on OpenID now. Hahahahaha.

Yeah, it is a sign. When you get reminded twice in one week on MyOpera, then you just have to do it


[Edit] Seems like openid.net is down again.

It doesn't seem to work with "pip.verisignlabs.com" for me... (Opera 9.50 build 2034).

Any hope for MyOpera-provided OpenIDentities? I'd like to see brand MyOpera OpenID (-:E

Yes I want it but not as a provider, just as a login possibility

Or at least an HTTPS login.

I demanded last month.

(and even mentioned it when I was in Norway last year... but apparently your 'OpenID guy' had left)

Demanded as haruka.isopenid.ru

I'd like to demand it too but can't.
What does this tell me?

Sterkrig: we'll see...

OK, I'll wait and hope (-:E

I misread it (OpenID/OpenSSL) sorry for that.
Still, I won't need it. I do not trust OpenID, nor would I ever trust an OpenID provider and I do not see any advantages for me either. Maybe I'm just too paranoid.

Hmm, if My Opera acted as an OpenID provider that would be quite interesting because... you could do something that I've been thinking a browser should do for more than a year.

Opera Link is built into the browser, and uses a My Opera account to login. Technically, being logged into Opera Link should mean you're automatically logged into My Opera whenever you're using your browser. It doesn't do this at the minute, but could.

If My Opera were to act as an Open ID provider, this would mean that since you're already logged into MyOpera, you're logged into all sites that you're using Open ID to authenticate.

Aside from someone jumping on your computer when you're not around, I can't think of any reason why this isn't as secure as having a password manager. Having the ability to associate your personal desktop browser with one or multiple Open ID accounts would mean it'd be easier than ever to log into your favourite websites - it's linking the browser with the person and seems to be what Open ID is all about.

@coxy:
Opera as OpenID provider would even make me thinking about it. That's in fact a good idea.

Aside from someone jumping on your computer when you're not around

That's why there's "ask for master password: every time needed"

Chuck Norris says YES to OpenID

I don't suppose he can get that link above working?

I can't get the link to work either

Do comments here count as a way of expressing support for this idea?

Try this link

Coxy, that would explain why I want Opera to be an OpenID provider...

Don't bring up the

So? Will Opera become an OpenID provider? I'd surely support that.

I'm not very knowledgeable about such things, but it seems to me that with a number of sites probably not bothering to take up the idea (coding to accept OpenID), its uses would be limited. also, anytime I need to login somewhere, I can simply hit CTRL > ENTER and Opera happily chucks my login info where I need it to (after I've set it all up initially, of course).

So long as it was all voluntary, instead of manditory, I suppose it'd be okay.

Opera should start using OpenID on MyOpera not because of what's basically a novel way to get people to sign a petition, but because OpenID is the best solution to a god damn irritating problem - man am I getting fed up of having to register for forums and websites, every single time I visit a site and want to comment.

And of course because it's Opera, it won't be a shitty implementation like so many of the other sites (right Operators? right? great.) All the big boys seem to want to do is treat it as a low-energy marketing tactic, slapping up something half-arsed and sticking OpenID on to show how involved they are: cue press releases. Load of balls - Yahoo don't even let anyone else authenticate with them using OpenID, they just want people to go around advertising Yahoo's service, basically; Google have skillfully avoided adding it to almost all their services - although did manage to add something to Blogger that brought it back to the dark ages of the web (not possible to edit or delete comments if you auth'ed via OpenID, no way of seeing all posts by an author, etc. - essentially you're authing yourself as someone else, not quite the point); and Microsoft haven't even bothered actually producing anything other than a load of guff about how interoperable all their tech iserrwill be, rah rah rah. Gawd these corporations are frustrating. Hmph.

PS: speaking of the dark ages of the web - no comment preview? It's a good thing I'm perfect and never make any mistakes, eh? Phew.

PPS: when editing a post (well, when I was editing this post, at least), there's two checkboxes for disabling smilies, one of which was ticked (as it should've been), the other one blank. OK, I get the hint, I WILL USE SMILEYS AND I WILL BLOODY WELL ENJOY IT! TEEEEN'HUT!

very good

With Opera Unite OpenID would be even better...
