You should try myid.asemantics.com, as an alternative to xmpp.za.net…that I really was not able to get working…

Cool post, sounds like a interesting alternative to passwords. I work for Vidoop and we run a password less OpenID provider as well.

Instead of a password, each user chooses from a number of “categories”, like airplanes, cars or keys. At time of login, myVidoop displays an array of images including an airplane, a car, or a key, along with several other unrelated images. Without knowledge of the secret, the display appears completely random to other observers. The user spots the secret categories known only to him and sees a series of digits that act as the one-time access code. Since other observers do not know the user’s categories, they do not know which of the displayed access codes to use as the key. Only the user can interpret the one-time access code from the display.

Its pretty neat technology, we also have a password manager to store your normal logins/passwords…

Cheers for anyone trying to actually get rid of passwords!

Hmm. It was up yesterday but seems down this morning. Xmppid.net seems cool also, but its bot does not seem to be working as I don’t get send the auth code.

Michael: I haven’t had time to check it personally. Please go ahead and try, and if it doesn’t work feel free to fix and and send me an updated patch.

Will this patch work on version 1.1 of the standalone php openid server? I can’t find version 1.0 for download to do a diff and see if affected code is changed. Thank you!
