Similar, but not exactly that reason. Google is promoting its own protocol for authentications, on the basis that the current scheme of login + password is flawed. It may or may not be true (I read it some time ago, and I don't really like it too much). The protocol is not closed (Google is, AFAIK, not asking for money for sites or services wanting to use it), so it is more like Google wants to be recognized for being the author of a critical shift in how services authenticate. -- Proyecto NAVE (Mozilla es-ES Localization Team) Mozilla Hispano Community _______________________________________________ support-seamonkey mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
