Personal Identity Portal Secures One-Click Sign-Ins [Logins] | How 2 Tech — Sat, 13 Sep 2008 02:20:22 +0000

[...] Web security firm VeriSign has re-launched its Personal Identity Portal, an OpenID-backed portal that provides one-click sign-ins for many popular webapps and e-commerce sites. The biggest downside from using a software solution or another login handler is having to visit your personalized PIP page before moving ahead, but that can be a blessing if you can remember your password there but not at, say, Circuit City. The PIP page provides bookmarklets for quick access, but security-conscious users can also require that VeriSign authenticate another key or a browser certificate before granting access. The PIP service is free to use, and works wherever OpenID is supported. To learn more about OpenID, check out our review and walkthrough. Personal Identity Portal [via TechCrunch] [...]

Password storage and sign-in systems like the firefox password manager are “local” and therefore do not really compete with web-based systems – which allow to use your once-created site from different devices.
I’m the co-founder of http://www.allyve.com and we, like VeriSign obviously also does, believe that users will NOT use a website just for the sake of managing your logins. Instead, you need a personalized page displaying individual information PLUS the benefit of the SSO functionality (like VeriSigns PIP offers).

Using Firefox’s password manager to INCLUDE use of the master password feature makes signing in anywhere a one password access to everywhere. Once you enter the master, the individual site’s saved password auto fills. But not without the master. It’s all I need to do what I want.

I find that many haven’t tried the master feature and don’t know what it does.

Quick history: PIP was initially launched a little over two years ago as an OpenID provider under Verisign Labs. The initial version was built on Rails by Eastmedia ( http://www.eastmedia.com ), based on Ruby Libraries created by JanRain. The PIP on Rails was one of the first major deployments of the Mongrel web server for Rails, and Verisign’s hardcore testing was an important part of getting it ready for wider adoption.

It is no secret to the OpenID community that there are some fairly complex user experience issues involved with providing SSO and identity online that is secure and easy to use. I absolutely guarantee that they want to hear your feedback and would love user experience, usability and interaction designers to get involved to help solve these issues.

Just a friendly advice as I have told you before – Usability is even more important than security for the mass consumer market. PIP is more than clumsy to use it now.

You really should support Yubikey to be a more elegant solution.

Check out Passpack (I’m a co-founder). There is no pre-approved list of sites that you can login to — you can train Passpack to log you into about 90% of sites you’ll come across in three clicks.

http://www.passpack.com

The trained login forms are stored in a community driven database, so you’ll often be able to login to more popular sites straight off since most of them have been trained already by other users.

If this is a double post: Sorry for that but the previous versions of the post didn’t appear (tried to reply to Shu)…

On eingelogged.de we have a list of our supported sites: https://eingelo...vices/?show=all. The only thing a user has to do is to register on eingelogged.de, browse the services (”Dienste” in German) and enter his credentials. From then on he is able to perform a one-click-login…

We are working hard on the next features and a soft graphical relaunch.

One does not *have* an email, that is something you know. Examples of “something you have” include, but are not limited to:

RSAkey
Smart Card
Yubikey

If you use Paypal you can get an RSA token for $5 (free to business accounts). This token can be used with verisign’s PIP
