Emailtoid.net - Email To ID

Emailtoid.net (pronounced Email-to-id) is a simple mapping service that enables the use of email addresses as OpenID identifiers. One of the criticisms of OpenID’s usability is the reliance on URLs for identifiers since people seem more comfortable identifying themselves by their email address. To remedy this problem, emailtoid was established to offer a simple but robust means for turning email addresses into fully qualified OpenID URLs.

Emailtoid was originally developed by Vidoop and it became the impetus for EAUT. Site developers will find this a useful way to integrate OpenID into their sites without having to teach users about URL-based identifiers. The goal is to have this fallback service be obsoleted once EAUT is more widely adopted.
