myVidoop Is Dead

There are some bad news reaching us from Portland: It seems OpenID Provider myVidoop will be out of business soon. This hasn’t been communicated on the Vidoop blog yet, but tech blog TechCrunch was forwarded some emails that indicate this.

This is really unfortunate as myVidoop was a technological advanced OpenID Provider with a unique login interface. It will be missed.

While the OpenID Provider is still up and running, it’s probably a good idea to look for a new provider if you currently use myVidoop. If you use delegation you can easily change the provider. Though if you have not used delegation (or cannot use it) please log in to the Relying Parties you used your myVidoop OpenID and change your settings there. Some services allow users to associate more than one OpenID with one account. Other services allow association of an email address, sometimes even a password. If all fails, get in touch with the service and try to work out something to recover your account while myVidoop is still up.

I am really sorry that such a great provider is dead now.
