Did you know…

June 29th, 2006 - Fred Stutzman

You can now log in to LiveJournal, TypeKey and Zooomr with your ClaimID URL? That’s right! If you’d like to leave comments on someone’s LiveJournal with your ClaimID, just log in and use “http://claimid.com/yourusername” as the OpenID url. It’s the same with Zooomr, just log in with your ClaimID and you can create an account without creating a password.

Whoa. That’s cool. Our first step towards verification was the addition of MicroID, so you can verify your pages to your ClaimID. With the second step of OpenID, you can now use your ClaimID to log in places around the net, and you can verify other OpenID’s to your account. You can really start to build that trusted web of identity.

We’ve always said that ClaimID wasn’t going to be a typical veified service. We didn’t want your social security number or your fingerprint. We knew there was a better way. With MicroID and OpenID, ClaimID users can create real, verified identites without having to mess with the kind of info that thieves like to steal. The best part is, we’re just getting started. This is getting kinda fun, isn’t it?

    I tried to login in TypeKey, but where do I put the url then. There is just space for a username and password?

    Hans,

    You cannot log into TypeKey directly with any OpenID URL. They still have an account system themselves. But what you can do, is log into a particular blog that is OpenID enabled with either your TypeKey or your claimID URL.

    I hope that makes sense.
