Google offers support OpenID

There are so many websites, portals and other web application which ask for you username and password in order to access their products/services. It is really difficult for any person (getting more diffcult) to remember so many login information. I have personally lost few login credentials for some websites quite a few times. If you also face such challenge to remember and recall the correct login id for your favourite websites then OpenId is for your rescue.

OpenID is simple notion for opend source id using which you can register once and use the same user id at a number of websites. Currently some of most populat brands in the www support OpenId.

Google has just announced that it will also support OpenId 2.0 based credentials to access most of it's webistes and webapplications. With Microsoft, Yahoo and many other key players already nodding and giving clearance to users with OpenId to access their websites is great move towards user freidnliess and provide a better managability to the user records and saving of enough user database and maintenenace related activites for that without compromising on the crucial data related to each user based on which the specific features to users are provided.

You can also register your id for free with OpenID and be the part of the current trend of create once use for a lifetime user logins.
