Facebook said it will adopt an OpenID framework for simplifying how users would sign on to the social networking website. Even though community website enthusiasts would be delighted to include the OpenID sign-on option, an average Internet user hasn't heard much about OpenID concept.
So, what exactly is OpenID? It is a single sign-on option that eliminates the need of multiple user names and passwords across different participating websites.
With a strong 200 million user base, Facebook is truly looking forward to implement a more secure and easy way for users to sign in. Interestingly, this comes right after the recent phishing attack was launched to steal Facebook users' sign-on credentials.
A new Facebook account could be created using Gmail credentials and existing users will be automatically logged into Facebook if they're logged into Gmail or other OpenID account.
“I think this is a nice idea/feature that if I’m logged in to my Gmail account I can already access Facebook from there. Cool!”
