MyOpenID and Wordpress

I just found by chance today a new service, and a wordpress plugin for that service!

The service is MyOpenID.com, which provides a persistent login mechanism across websites which support the technology.  This allows you to provide only your MyOpenID.com user account name to sign up for certain sites/services.  This “single-sign-on” technology can greatly reduce the number of times you have to enter a password while surfing the net.

Add to that the fact that Dr. Nic Williams has recently blogged on his site about a plugin for Wordpress which will allow you to accept sign-ups from MyOpenID.com users without them having to go through all the steps to create an account for your site.  Great Find!

The MyOpenID.com service will allow you to have more than one “persona“.  This means that if you have a separate set of websites you visit (say the Online Play-by-Post Star Trek role playing sites) you can easily keep those worlds separate while using the same ID.

This is definitely making the list of plugins for the new site!  :)
