Not using MT or don't want to run your own OpenID server? TypeKey is now an OpenID server. You can sign into LiveJournal or any other OpenID-enabled site with three easy steps:
- Log into TypeKey, click the "Your TypeKey Profile Page" tab, and click "Save" to republish your profile. (This puts the OpenID magic in your profile page. You only need to do this once.)
- Go to LiveJournal (or any other OpenID-enabled site, like this one) and select to sign in with OpenID.
- Enter
profile.typekey.com/usernamefor your OpenID URL. Voilá!
Remember you can also use an OpenID server as a delegate to sign in with your own site URL. Add these lines to the head section of a web page to make it an OpenID linked to your TypeKey account.
<link rel="openid.delegate" href="http://profile.typekey.com/username/" />
<link rel="openid.server" href="https://www.typekey.com/t/openid" />

Awesome! As you’ll see from my TrackBack, I’ve been waiting to announce this ever since I noticed the openid.server header line on my TypeKey profile page — but I done got scooped. :)

Sweet! Now if I could just figure out how to get my own OpenID server going. But this will certainly do for now. Great find! (posted with TypeKey/OpenID)

Looks like somebody broke TypeKey, since it only returns
openid.mode=cancel, which then breaks you since you don’t handle that mode.comment
Seems to be fixed now, yay. I should definitely support cancel mode better though.

This is an excellent news. With the OpenID Comments MT, I can get more people to use OpenID.

I just wish there was more stuff I could sign in to.
