| Dec 21, 2011 at 2:06 | comment | added | Shog9 | Interestingly, @Adam, this was easily possible at one point... Folks got horribly confused, didn't use it when they meant to (almost never), did use it when they didn't mean to (all too often), and never understood it. So it went away. If you have a bright idea for making this easy and not at all confusing (especially to the folks for whom "openID" is already a scary and mildly annoying concept), you should write it up... | |

| Dec 19, 2011 at 16:54 | comment | added | Adam Davis | Given the nature of the multi-site-login (via stackauth) this is annoyingly annoying. You have to log out of all sites, then log in with your openID. If you want to go back to the other account, you have to log out everywhere again, then log in to the other account. There should be an easier way to manage this so that you can use one account on one site, and another on the other site without ever having to log in or out of the SE network as a whole. | |

At the time, we decided the same, though it's not quite ideal. | |
| Oct 31, 2011 at 9:38 | comment | added | Tormod | I don't think a common stackexchange user should be assumed to know this. As the diversity of stackexchange grows, a larger and larger percentage of the user base will feel that the site is magically recognizing you. Hell, it might even frighten people away. Just like walking down the street with your family and having a bouncer of a strip joint calling you out using your first name.... and then some time afterwards you realize that it was a guy from the gym. | |
