OpenID is taking hold

Posted by tobi — 08:27 PM Mar 08

Shopify now supports OpenID as an first class login method. After our friends at 37signals figured out how to do the present a pleasant UI and David created the wonderful open_id_authentication plugin, it was just the matter of a single workday to bring OpenID to the tousands of Shopify stores out there.

Awesome technology for awesome products. OpenID’s future is as bright as can be :)

    Very nice!

    I switched my existing Shopify user account to use the OpenID feature and it was quite easy.

    Good to see some companies jumping on board. It looks like this could be the ‘real deal’ when it comes to single sign-ons and easier sign-ups for users. Here’s a cool screencast that explains what OpenID is and how it fits into Rails applications : http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=6681175422710559031 . It’s pretty darn good and lead me to wrap my head around what OpenID is - and isn’t. Anyways, good job on the integration, guys … hopefully more companies come around. ;)
