While browsing del.icio.us the other day I came across a new site called Clickpass that provides you with an OpenID account. There have been a number of OpenID providers in the past, but something seemed different about Clickpass. For a while I thought OpenID was set to go the way of the foaf... a great idea that fails to take hold. Now that Yahoo has announced support for OpenID I figured I would give OpenID another look via Clickpass:
The first thing I noticed about Clickpass was the clean web 2.0 style. I was even more grateful when I was presented with the simple login requiring only an email address and password. No email confirmation was required, which is always greatly appreciated as I hate having to login to email just to try out a new site. In fact the ability to do away with this necessity is one of the many appealing features of OpenID.
Once I was logged on to my Clickpass account, it was easy to add my y combinator account. It was just as easy, actually easier, to sign up for a new site. In my case I chose to sign up for Disqus... one of four OpenID enabled sites presented to the user.
Now that OpenID is finally taking hold I am looking forward to integrating it into Drupal. With my handy Clickpass I have no reason not to test the Drupal OpenID module. Look for my findings in future blog posts under the drupal tag.
Excellent news
Great to hear you're getting on so well with Clickpass. Please feel free to contact me directly on the Drupal install, we'd be very happy to be of any help we can be - peter dot nixey at clickpass.com.
