Limits of SSOLimits of SSOPosted Feb 3, 2011 18:07 UTC (Thu) by rsidd (subscriber, #2582)Parent article: The end of OpenID? it would be horrifying to be greeted by your bank's log-in screen asking for your Facebook ID. Not any worse, in my opinion, than a bank asking for OpenID. I'd rather have a distinct login and password for each bank account, thanks. And hope the bank has half a clue about security.

If the bank implements OpenID properly you can still have one OpenID for each account, with distinct passwords, personal security certificates, hardware keys, or whatever else you care to use for authentication. Nothing in the OpenID spec forces you to use a single identity everywhere, or to rely on a particular provider. OpenIDs can easily be both more secure and more convenient than most bank sign-in processes I've encountered.
