How do I know which of the sites I use wil accept openID from Lonely ID?

All sites that anounce on their web site they are OpenID-enabled for Login or Registration are valid LonelyID websites.

You may find a list of OpenID-enabled websites in the following url:

https://www.myopenid.com/directory

You may also find more information on OpenID related websites at:

Please, in case you find any OpenID-enabled website not working with LonelyID, we would be very glad to hear about you so we could review if there is something OpenID-enabled not fully compatible with LonelyID.

Registration, activation and access | General

What is the OpenID standard?

OpenID Logo

The OpenID standard allows you to use just one identifier to access many websites without having to create new passwords for each website.

OpenID combined with LonelyID goes a bit beyond by allowing you to: NEVER have to create or remember a password.

Historical records of your accesses and activity carried out with LonelyID

You can see all activity carried out with your LonelyID Identifier from the LonelyID webpage. We explain below what each of the events that you can see in the LonelyID activity page means.

Recent activity

In the recent activity table, you can see all activity that has taken place with your LonelyID Identifier in the last six months. You can see the following types of events:

Identification events in LonelyID

Identification on LonelylD: Means that you have initiated a LonelyID session by entering your password properly.
Erroneous identification on LonelylD: Means that you attempted to initiate a LonelyID session with an incorrect password.
Identification with deactivated account: Means that you attempted to initiate a session in LonelyID when the Identifier was deactivated or cancelled. This can occur if your mobile is lost or stolen and someone attempted access with your Identifier after you cancelled it.
Disconnection from LonelyID: Means that you correctly ended a LonelyID session using the “Logout” link.
Disconnection from LonelyID due to inactivity: Means that a LonelyID session was ended automatically due to having reached the maximum inactivity period; in other words, not having carried out operations with your Identifier for a specified time period.

Events related to LonelyID key management

Generation of a new LonelyID key: Means that the creation of a new LonelyID key has been requested from your mobile phone.
Activation of LonelyID key: Means that a new LonelyID key has been activated by verifying the link that you received in your email.
Cancellation of LonelyID key: Means that a LonelyID key has been cancelled.

Events related to authentication on websites

Permitted access to a website: Means that access to a website using the Identifier has been authenticated. This event is generated in each permitted access to a site, regardless of whether the authentication was performed manually or automatically.
Denied access to a website: Means that access to a website from the access confirmation page has been denied once you were already identified in LonelyID.
Cancelled access to a website: Means that access to a website has been denied before being identified in LonelyID.
Automatic authentication assigned to a website: Means that you have confirmed that you would like access to a website to be authenticated without showing the confirmation screen for each access. This event can be generated when confirming access to a site if you tick the checkbox “Do not ask for password again when I access..." or rather when you change authentication from "manual" to "automatic" from the configuration page.
Revoked automatic authentication to a website: Means that the authentication type has been changed from “automatic" to "manual".
Time expired without completing a website’s authentication: Means that the maximum wait time at one of the screens in which you must enter data during a website’s authentication process has expired.
Automatic disconnection through authentication in a website: Means that the session in LonelyID has ended automatically by completing an authentication process on a website (because you did not tick the “Stay connected” checkbox during identification).

Event information related to authentication on websites is only saved when access to a website has been accepted at least once. In this way, if you attempt to access a website for the first time and cancel the process before its completion, you will not see any events related to this site.

Your sites

In the table containing your websites, you can see a list of all the websites you have accessed (or attempted to access) in the last six months with your LonelyID Identifier in descending order according to the date of the last event related to the site. If you click on any of this table’s rows, you will be brought to a page where you can see details of all events related to this website.

From this page, you can also change the website authentication type: the "manual" option (you will have to confirm each access to websites at the time you want to access them) or "automatic" option (access requests to this website will be accepted automatically).

General

Glossary of terms

We outline the primary concepts used within the LonelyID service below:

LonelyID Identifier or OpenID Identifier

This is the unique OpenID identifier that identifies you worldwide and that you can use as a username on websites you will access.

For example,

Example of LonelyID identifier

Email

Your email address associated with the LonelyID account and that will allow you to recover and validate the changes carried out in your LonelyID account. For example,

Example of Email

LonelyID Key

This is an internal and secret key saved in your mobile telephone and can only be exchanged with the lonelyid.com server at registration time and to which nobody can gain access. If your mobile is lost or stolen, you can unsubscribe this password from lonelyid.com, guaranteeing that nobody gains illegitimate access by using your LonelyID Identifier.

Password

This is a sequence formed by eight digits allowing you to authenticate yourself as the owner of the LonelyID account and that will provide you with access to all web services associated with your LonelyID Identifier.

For example,

Password example

Identification on LonelyID

This is a process carried out on LonelyID's server itself that allows you to identify yourself as the owner of a LonelyID Identifier.

LonelyID Authentication or OpenID Authentication

This is a process that is performed on an external website (with LonelyID server intervention, visible or invisible) to determine if a LonelyID Identifier has permission to access the external website in question.
