ClaimID Integrates ID Selector - Making OpenID Easier
April 23rd, 2008 - Fred StutzmanA few days ago, we rolled out ID Selector at ClaimID. Designed by the wonderful folks at JanRain, ID Selector is a nifty technology that makes the OpenID sign-in process significantly easier. Here’s what it looks like:
The ID Selector makes it easy to recall your OpenID when you’re logging into a site, solving a plethora of problems that occur when OpenID’s proliferate. We know this will make it easier for you to log in to OpenID, and we also hope that this will drive some more of that sweet OpenID-consuming that is required to push this movement forward.
If you’d like an ID Selector from your website, simply sign up with IDSelector.com. Great work to Brian and Co. at JanRain!

Ideally the list of providers should include Yahoo.

Shii,
The ID Selector is smart enough to know the difference between OpenID1.1 and OpenID2 servers and clients. Yahoo, at this time, is only issuing OpenID2 credentials, and we are still working on the best way forward supporting the new libraries.
Yahoo will appear when everything works together.
Thanks,
Terrell

It’s doesn’t work well with Verisign’s PIP addon for FireFox, then again it hardly ever plays nice with OpenID.
