Hi all,

This is in response to the idea of managing multiple identities that Stephen spoke about this morning. Unlike his example of Sxipper, a Firefox Add-on which keeps track of passwords to multiple sites locally, MyOpenID allows for users to sign-on to multiple websites in one go, and is browser and platform-independent.

Essentially, an OpenID-enabled site is one that doesn't necessarily have a sign-on system, no Username/password fields to identify oneself to the system, just a domain such as 'user.myopenid.com'. You login to MyOpenID once and Presto! you're logged into all websites affiliated to it, and there are over a thousand sites out there that include ma.gnolia, stikis and Imageshack .
