After much debate, the OpenID 2.0 standard was announced today. In case you are not familiar, OpenID is a new service that lets you log in to multiple websites with one account: your OpenID. The number of websites that support OpenID is growing every day. Currently, there are over 8,000 participating sites including big names like Blogger, digg (plans to support version 2.0), AOL, Technorati, Bloglines, WordPress, Vox, LiveJournal, and many more. The benefit of this technology is that it gives you the ability to just use one username and password in order to login to many different accounts. Sometimes, you can even “sign up” for a new account with a website just by authenticating with your OpenID. If you don’t already have an OpenID, go get one here. You’ll be surprised how many places you can use it!
