Parent article: A look at OpenID

I've been using OpenID for several months now, mostly so that friends with livejournal accounts can "friend" me (enabling me to read their private writings) without my having to register with livejournal myself. It works well.

Which begs the question: is there any chance of LWN enabling OpenID for their supporters' logins? I'd much rather use OpenID here than username/password.

Supporting OpenID for LWN logins

It's on the list. As I often tell people, though...the list is long. So I can't make any promises about when we'll be able to implement OpenID logins.

thanks, jon - i'm impressed it's on the list at all, long or otherwise.

Agreed, being able to log in using OpenID would be cool.
