Hey Twitter,
I'm an avid user of your site and know that you like to be on the leading
edge when it comes to innovative technologies. I'd like to see you
support OpenID (http://openid.net) as it allows me to use your site
more easily. With OpenID I'm able to come to your site and sign-in
with my OpenID, removing the need to create yet another username and
password which means that you're able to sign-up more people.
OpenID is really easy to integrate and allows users from many large
sites such as AOL, LiveJournal, and WordPress to login with just a few
clicks. I encourage you to check out http://openid.net/ or join the
mailing list general@openid.net.
Thanks.

Inappropriate?A great idea. Twitter is *exactly* the kind of service that should support OpenID, and it would add value to both services. I'm surprised it isn't already supported!
I’m nonplussed

Inappropriate?Twitter needs to stay online for more than 24 hours in a row before they start adding any new features.

Inappropriate?i want to use twitter sooooo badly, but i just can't bring myself to do it until they implement openid. maybe i should leave my web dev job on market street and come work for them, where i can bother them about it all day. :)

Inappropriate?I stalled on signing up for twitter for more than a year because I wanted OpenID support. I finally caved am now annoyed every time I have to sit and try and remember my login credentials. Really annoying.

Inappropriate?OpenID support would help protect your login details from being stolen from the many 3rd party twitter sites that are popping up. I'd feel much more confident supplying my OpenID to use those services.
I’m excited by this idea

Inappropriate?I don't think Twitter should use OpenID. I think OpenID is a great service, infact I'm using it now to post this, but I just don't think it will work for Twitter.
I’m confused
-
Inappropriate?I think OpenID is great but I am concerned about having too many things connected.
I’m tired.

OpenID does introduce a single point of vulnerability - the OpenID provider. However, the advantage of this will typically outweigh the disadvantage - OpenID consumer sites don't get your actual credentials as part of the token exchange that's used to log in to an OpenID-enabled site, therefore your username and passwords are much less exposed (true, completely unique and unrelated account details for every site would be more secure, but who can remember that for 100+ sites without either writing them down or using a password manager (both of which are also single points of attack))
It's also worthwhile to note that since you can choose to use any OpenID provider you have access to, you can better control the security of your account information. -
Inappropriate?OpenID is meant for user registration Twitter, not OAuth. You should know this.
I’m hopeful

Inappropriate?Wouldn't supporting this require major changes to all of the Twitter clients out there?3 Comments Add a comment

There wouldn't be any changes to the twitter clients.
Identi.ca is a twitter-like (Identi.ca has more features) social network that uses OpenID and Facebook Connect to login. There aren't really any Identi.ca clients (other then their website) that use OpenID login.
The real advantage of using OpenID is I can use my Gmail account to login to other _websites_. It's really nice the way Facebook used OpenID to login. Facebook automatically logins when I'm logged in to my Gmail account. -
The way I usually authenticate with OpenID is that I enter my OID name, get routed to the ID server where I enter my password (or click "authorize" if i'm already logged in) and am then bounced back.
That sounds needing change to all the twitter clients. -
Twitter clients should use the oauth api because of this - the authentication method and the authorization method should be decoupled to have the freedom of implementing the best possible authentication method without disrupting any third party clients authorizations.

Inappropriate?You can have OpenID and still have your twitter screen name at same time.
Facebook and Identica allows you to log in by traditional means and OpenID to log in to the same account. In these case, OpenID is add on to previous accounts.
Addi: Have you used Identi.ca or Facebook with OpenID? If you haven't used Ident.ca or Facebook with OpenID then your speculations are highly irrelevant. Identi.ca and Facebook makes you have an account with a traditional login then you attach your OpenID accounts. You still have the benefits of OpenID without having to change your API to your clients.

Inappropriate?Another good idea to be ignored by Twitter. Facebook and Identi.ca are getting more appealing every day.
I’m frustrated

Inappropriate?Of course twitter should use OpenID, like http://identi.ca does ;-)
To the people voicing concerns about OpenID's single-point-of-vulnerability and the issue of trusting one provider with a password to so many other services, check out the SSL-certificate based OpenID providers like http://certif.ca or http://myopenid.com (which both provide free-services).
They use your own browser's OpenSSL functionality to generate a public/private key-pair on your machine and the private key stays on your machine. They never even get it, so you know your private key is only in your hands and no-one else's (and it's way more secure than plain passwords, and can also be password-protected itself, and can remove the need to enter any password from your home-machine at all). Once your key-login works OK, you can even remove the normal password (but then *don't* lose your key!), or as a backup you can still keep the normal password access for when you are on someone else's computer.
I’m not surprised

there's a typo in one of those links: it should be http://certifi.ca rather than http://certif.ca
