Today, we were very glad to meet Snorri Giorgetti, the founder and chair at OpenId Europe Foundation . He was on a trip in Corsica and stop by WMaker.

We asked him tons of questions about OpenID and  the future of authentication. OpenID is an authentication system. It was integrated on your websites a few month ago. With OpenID you can use a single password to connect to all the website supporting OpenID.

OpenID is a decentralized authentication system supported by OpenID providers like Orange (myOpenID, with 800 000 accounts is also very famous). OpenID is a reliable authentication system as it is based on DNS.

In a close future, OpenID will fill for you your forms, on e-commerce websites for instance. We were very surprised to hear that 1 person over 2 do not proceed to checkout because of information form filling.

We will get back to you with info on OpenID as this project keeps growing up.
