OpenID - An innovation

First let me explain you that OpenID is the open, decentralised user authentication. By using OpenID we can access many sites without remembering all id and password. That one OpenID can be ur one true login. OpenID authenticate user without sharing his password with other sites.


Today when i was looking at all the providers of OpenID i found most of them from USA and not a single from India. Its true that this concept came from US but now India bring lots of innovation in the field of web with many R&D centers and web startups. So i hope that Indian web companies like Rediff and Sify will also bring their OpenID.


OpenID is an innovative concept but not that widely use because it lack in services. Most of the sites i use are providers of OpenID but do not allow other OpenID to access their services. Like bloggers allow us to use blog link as OpenID but to login we require Google account. So where to use these IDs is a big trouble and the organisation should bring new services.


Even this open a door for startups which can make these services (blog, social network, movies, job portal etc) available by using an OpenID (not by creating an account on there website).
