This is another attempt to collect all the information at a centralized location. Just like Global Passport / IDs. There has been this struggle going on in "advanced" countries where people are more educated and informed (statistically speaking). The Governments and "Super Power" would love to monitor and eventually control all the activities of their "subjects". I don't disagree with the fact that it is becoming harder everyday to keep track of your online accounts. IDs, passwords etc. I have countless IDs on the net and would like to manage them with ease. So the solution I have is I have only 2-3 IDs and 2-3 passwords, so its one or the other in case I forget. Or you can make simple spreadsheet or a text file with your links, user ids, password. The way you are compromising is if someone gets hold of your machine physically or virtually but not like your put it out there for the sniffers or opportunists waiting to get all your info. This is just me speaking out loud and sharing the other-side (whatever you want to call it left or right). Your choice. We are losing "freedom" one way or the other everyday and becoming slave to the system and governments. Cheers Care to hear another point of view:

If they doprovide it in future than it would be gr8. [I am ex-employee of orgoo] I like the concept of openID.

But i think a priduct like Single Sign on -- like a portal providing a unified interface taking care of your all password & id's once provided, and once you login, that's all. I am not sure wheter there is any product or portal like this, but you post hits on the right target, we have facebook, orkut, linkedin, and remembering password all of them. In fact many times, i directly go to the forget password option, as in some cases i forget them. As a practice many people have 1 password set for all, but again once hacked or known, their whole world will be lost :) Let c.. this is a problem, and hope it will seeks a solution soon :) I am not sure, that whether http://www.orgoo.com/Home will be doing something like this or not.
