There are a healthy number of FREE OpenID Providers available to web users interested in establishing their online identity via OpenID. Yahoo, Orange and AOL have made it very easy for users to establish their OpenID identity by using the sign on credentials they already have through these services. It won’t take long for the remaining mainstream sites to jump in. This is great news for the OpenID project! While large mainstream sites continue to jump on the bandwagon, there are numerous OpenID Providers that are solely dedicated and built around offering web users with feature rich and very secure online identities. A great example is myVidoop.com with their “Goodbye Passwords” approach to security, anywhere anytime access to stored usernames and passwords and user controlled account management via their site tools and SMS features. Other providers add SSL and anti-phishing features just like Yahoo’s Sign-In Seal. Users should really explore what these other Providers have to offer. SpreadOpenID.org has a Provider comparison to help users choose a Provider that suits their needs.
