Seems that the openid feature is removed now in Fx 4? I cannot login to my stackoverflow account any more.

Randall,

Not at this time, sorry! We are aware of the problem and are working on a solution.

I’ve been using Weave for a few months now, but just today I noticed that I’ve lost the ability to specify an OpenID provider when logging into openID Services (via RPX). All I see is a “sign in” button, which seems to be pulling the wrong openID provider.

Is there any way to change this?

Thanks for all the feedback everyone, we’ve learned a bunch with this experiment and will continue trying to improve this area of the Web.

For those who have wondered what the theme is in the video, it is Personas, another Mozilla Labs project:

The particular persona I used during the video is this one, you can try it after you install Personas:

Very nice idea. I still have some concerns about storing important info “in the cloud”. Could there be the option to only use local login data?

Also, why stop at only login info that has already been filled in? Why couldn’t Mozilla detect login/signup forms, generate secure passwords, use a default email address, and simply store that? If using the cloud storage, the whole thing would involve only choosing to click a “Sign up using Weave” button, and we wouldn’t even have to know the password.

This all does rest on the security of Weave and Firefox, of course.

I can’t register Weave account.
I got through step 3. It asked to input words I can see in the image, but there’s no image.

I can’t add mozilla’s openid to my wordpress blog. Now to log in I need to completely disable weave. There should be some way to enable/disable this on a page by page basis.

There is a way to use simple ssl certificates to get single sing on to work in existing browsers using the foaf+ssl ‘protocol’. See iPhone demo for example at

http://blogs.sun.com/bblfish/entry/one_click_global_sign_on

The advantage of that system is that it brings your social network with you. Perhaps this could be linked into weave too?

For more on foaf+ssl see the specification:

There are a lot of examples on the foaf+ssl wiki, though we need to make them easier to understand.

I used your add-on on a beta Firefox and it is really awesome.
I have a question that maybe it seems a lilte bit wiered but your Theme on a Weave video guide is really a inspiring one. I really ilke it.
I use Personas for Firefox and really wanna know which theme you use and is it for windows firefox edittion or not.

Thanks in advance for a help
