VeriSign's SeatBelt OpenID plugin for Firefox. The first good example of browser integration for OpenID. It catches phishing attempts by watching out for rogue OpenID consumers that don’t redirect to the right place.

  3. Just enabled it for our site - good stuff.

  4. It’s quite tidy, though a shame that it isn’t a generic OpenID-using extension - requires providers to have “seatbelt” descriptor files on their host.

  5. Have you looked at Sxipper? (http://www.sxipper.com/)

    It was fairly buggy last time I played with it, but it attempted to make OpenID login a bit more accessible, without sending you through multiple websites.

  6. Quick sneak allows to copy-paste the PIP descriptor file but if a provider does not support the 'signed in' concept how does one make use of the plugin? open.id.ee in its current form does not keep sessions and thus login state - yet the 'single signon' is achieved with Firefox smart card PIN cache - you only enter it once and the client side is 'logged on' until you remove the card but the server side is stateless.
