What is OpenID?


In A Nutshell


You authenticate yourself to a web site using your credentials from another site such as your email provider.


What are the security risks to me?


You identify yourself to this web site by logging into your email provider. Your email provider notifies this site that you are authentic, and a shared key that is strongly encrypted is utilized to secure the transaction between the two sites. The only personal information passed back from your OpenID provider to this site is what you have previously authorized with your provider.

Passwords & Security

At the very minimum, the password for your email account (with your provider) and for each of your financial accounts should be unique and have strong passwords. You want the password for your email account to be unique because it is frequently used to authenticate you for other (causal) web sites.


It is not possible for us to tell you what your password is. The password you enter is encrypted immediately and stored encrypted. When you login, the password you enter is encrypted and compared to the encryped version stored in our system. This along with other measures prevents your encrypted password from being of any use to a hacker.
