Hands-on Project 8-4

"Steps for creating and using OpenID are as follows:

1) Go to a free site that provides OpenID accounts, such as MyOpenID.com, then create a account with a username(Me) and password. The user is then given the OpenID account of Me@myopenid.com

2) When the user visits a website like BuyThis.com that requires him to sign in, he can instead choose to use OpenID. He simply enters his OpenID URL, Me@myopenid.com.

3) BuyThis.com redirects to MyOpenID.com where he is required to enter his password to authenticate himself and indicates he trusts BuyThis.com with his identity.

4) MyOpenID sends him back to BuyThis.com, where he is now authenticated. "
