The openid solution is as easy to use as the user api for appengine. In my implementation, I direct the users using a "Login using Google" link, which sends them to a google page where they click a Continue to sign in button, which sends them back to my site where I finish handling the openid auth

I'm aware of the OpenID option, but I'm concerned about having to train users how to use it. Ease of use is critical. The ability to migrate off App Engine isn't useful to me because I could never cost effectively reach the same level of scalability. -Ryan On Jan 26, 5:21 pm, "bowman.jos...@gm

As someone suggested in that thread, I'd suggest you look at Google Openid. I went this route because it also offers a way for you to persist your user identity if you move your domain off of appengine. On Jan 26, 5:22 pm, Ryan Lamansky wrote: > As a follow-up to this thread > here:http://group
