TypeKey’s “keep me signed in for 2 weeks”
…doesn’t actually keep me signed in for 2 weeks. Just another reason this is not a particularly useful service.
The other reasons? The javascript is a pain to implement. It’s broken on half the sites that use it. (The best case is when TypeKey authentication is required to comment but isn’t implemented properly, making it impossible to leave a comment. I’ve seen that several times.) And it’s from Six Apart, so it’s about time I posted something insulting about it.

typekey is utter crap. as far as a universal login, openID is better, but a pain to implement.
right now i like using 30boxes’ buddycards. they give reasonably secure identity, and they’re blood simple to add to wordpress.
