  • OpenID is one username and password for all sites, which eliminates the need for multiple usernames, simplifying your online experience.

Average Internet Users Confused by OpenID

by John Jorgensen on October 15, 2008

  • The results of a recent OpenID usability study conducted by Yahoo revealed that normal internet uses don’t know WTF OpenID is and can’t figure out how to use it.
  • Granted, the study was only ran with nine people, albeit “Yahoo users in their thirties who considered themselves of medium-to-high internet savvy.”

Did this surprise anybody? I would guess that most internet users still don’t know what RSS is, let alone OpenID.
