    <p>I've read <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/41354/is-the-stackoverflow-login-situation-bearable">https://stackoverflow.com/questions/41354/is-the-stackoverflow-login-situation-bearable</a> and must agree to a certain point that openid (for me) makes it more difficult to log in. Not a show stoper but I'm used to opening the front page of the site, there's a small login form, firefox' password manager already filled in the correct values, submit, done. One click. Here - and it's currently the only site with openid I use - the password/form manager doesn't even fill in my "login id". I often close all browser windows and all cookies are erased - and I would like to keep it this way.</p> <p>Are there any firefox plugins you would recommend that make the login process easier? Maybe something that checks my status at myOpenId and performs the login if necessary.</p> <p>Edit: Unfortunately RichQ is right and I can't use Seatbelt. And Sxipper ...not quite what I had in mind ;) Anyway, both solutions would take away some of the "pain", so upvotes for both of you.</p> <p>I've also tried the ssl certificate. But that only adds more steps. Hopefully I did something wrong and some of those steps can be eliminated:</p> <ul> <li>Click "login" at stackoverflow <li>Click on the "select provider" Button. <li>Click on MyOpenId <li>Enter Username <li>Click "Login" (Sxipper could reduce the previous 4 steps to a single mouseclick) <li>MyOpenId login page is loaded <li>Click "Sign in with an SSL certificate" <li>Choose Certificate (grrr) <li>Click "Login" (GRRR) <li>Back to stackoverflow, finally. </ul> <p>What I really would like is: <ul> <li>Click "login" at stackoverflow <li>My (only) LoginId is filled in <li>Click "Login" <li>If necessary the certificate is chosen automagically, ssl login performed <li>Back to stackoverflow without any further user interaction. </ul>That would be more or less what I'm used to - and I'm a creature of habit :)</p>
