OpenID & Verisign VIP
Monday, March 9th, 2009A while back I purchased a PayPal Security Key, which is a physical key fob that generates a number to use in addition to my normal login. The key fob itself was $5, and I like the idea of having “two-factor” authentication where my money is. A really cool thing that I just found out about today is that the key fob from PayPal is actually a Verisign VIP (Verisign Identity Protection) token.. and can be used everywhere that their own $30 token can be used, including for OpenID authentication at the Verisign Personal Identity Portal! Very cool.
