Your egofolio is now an OpenID Delegate
I really like the potential of OpenID to lighten the password load on various applications, which is why I use it on Egofolio!
I REALLY like the concept of OpenID delegates. A delegate is a URL with special code in the header that will redirect an openid login request to your actual OpenID provider. You can use your delegate URL as your identity on OpenID enabled sites. The upside is that if you ever decide to change your OpenID provider, you can simply modify your delegate URL to point to the new provider and never skip a beat! Any other information on your delegate URL remains unchanged.
Starting now, all Egofolio member pages can be used as a delegate URL. Why would you want this? If you browse to the OpenID URL of most providers, you’re presented with just a barebones site, or even just a couple of lines of text. :( If you use your Egofolio URL to log in to other OpenID enabled sites, then people wanting to find out more about you will land on your Egofolio profile with’s lots of information about you.
If you experience problems using your Egofolio site as a delegate then please let me know.
P.S. It seems that verisignlabs members need to do a bit of work to enable delegates with their OpenID’s. See https://pip.verisignlabs.com/seatbelt.do for moe information.
