The bloom is off the OpenID rose, and we are now seeing withdrawals, such as this announcement from 37 Signals that it will no longer support OpenID. "Much has been written about the usability and reliability problems facing OpenID. Some of the better ones are OpenID Is A Nightmare by Rob Conery and the What's wrong with OpenID? thread on Quora. No need to repeat all that here." Moreover, OAuth and OAuth-type services are proving an alternative, albeit a branded alternative. I still don't know why providers have not aboped a browser-based sign-in, as I advocated. Maybe now they will.
