OpenID
an open source password scheme so that you can use the same userid/password on many different sites. There are also schemes to automatically log you in on selected sites. Once I have logged into openid, openid.org knows my IP. That means I am effectly logged on to any site that accepts open id. My IP is all they need, (or perhaps my URL http://roedy.openid.org). Nobody else can use my URL since they have a different IP. My IP acts like an automatic temporary password. I don’t need to keep respecifying my password.
