I second that request. What I would like to be able to do is grant people entrance/permissions on a community website. This community exists of members of...
Irony? Nah. We intended it to be easy all along. The easier something is, the more likely people will adopt it. We've seen that hold true over and over and...
... The irony is that Yahoo! BBAuth, while it has an awful name, is a lot easier to implement (IMHO, of course) than OpenID ... and OpenID is remarkably...

But I want read-only access to Yahoo! Mail not Yahoo! Photos. Further, it'd be best if I had read-only access to only the from and header fields and not the...
