I'm so excited that IMVU now supports OpenID that I wanted to post about it. Dusty has put up a simple forums post announcing it here.
What does this mean?
If you are an IMVU customer, you have an OpenID. The format is avatars.imvu.com/YourAvatarName. You can use this to log into any site that supports OpenID, some of which are listed here: http://openiddirectory.com/. I recommend LiveJournal as a great place to start - you can log in and post a comment to someone's journal using only your IMVU OpenID.
Why is this cool?
We hope IMVU developers of all kinds will use OpenID to make their IMVU-affiliated sites work without requiring you to register a separate account, and without you having to give them your IMVU password. We hope IMVU credits resellers will use this to make purchasing credits that much more secure, reliable, and convenient.
Comments:
IMVU's openID seems to be flawed. Let me explain.
First use it worked properly. It returned a false value when clicking the link to verify.
However... On a false reading, the only thing I had to do to turn it into a True reading was...
Click the back button to go back to the redirect page, click the confirm button, and the false reading turned into a true reading when it still should of been false.
