You need to go back to school. How exactly does a password (no matter how complex) combat simple keystroke logging? automation? guessing?

-WONDERING what kind of security related authority you have especially since you sound like you are just hating.

On an authorized computer, the login system is worthless and can be defeated by anyone in seconds. So, the whole hype about their image grid is complete bunk. They’re better off using a plain old password.

The entire security of the system relies on the “software token” (a.k.a. a cookie). Since this token is sitting on a drive and written by a user process, it’s vulnerable to being stolen malware. It’s disingenuous for them to be touting this as a protection against keyloggers when it’s just as easy for malware to grab the activation data.

This can be automated by scraping and classifying Vidoop’s image library.

I’m still enjoying MyVidoop, but one thing about the Firefox plugin is driving me crazy: The timeout is way too short. I can be reading a long article or writing an email, and MyVidoop will log me out. I understand that it can only monitor browser activity, so if I’m working in email or Word the plugin thinks I’ve left the computer. But the time has to be longer than it is.

One thing that I’d like to add is that, though only one username will autofill, changing it to a different saved account is just a matter of clicking the “username” field and selecting the one you want to use, if that makes sense.

Again, all this attention we’re getting is so exciting, and I want to thank everyone for being interested.

@Vincent404: Currently there is no way to port OpenID’s from one provider to another. Though if you have a blog or website you should consider delegation which means that your blog’s URL works as an OpenID while delegating the authentication process to an OpenID provider. This way you can always change the provider while using the same URL as an OpenID: your blog’s URL.
Some relying parties (=websites that let you log in with OpenID) let you associate multiple OpenID’s with your account. So it’s possible to use different OpenID’s for login.
Anyway don’ worry, MyOpenID is one of the best providers out there, IMHO.

There are desktop software solutions like Roboform (PC) or 1Passwd (Mac), but they won’t help you when you’re away from your main computer…

Roboform certainly can. You can get PDA apps (PalmOS and Windows CE) that store copies of all your logins.
