Web sign-in
This article is a stub. You can help the IndieWeb wiki by expanding it.
Web sign-in is signing in to websites using your personal web address (without having to use your e-mail address). Web sign-in provides a simpler replacement for OpenID.

Why
Web sign-in is much simpler to use and implement than previous methods of signing in with your own domain like OpenID.
Using your own domain is safer than a 3rd party email service, and simpler than email on your own domain.
See Why web sign-in for more reasons why you should use it.
Details
Web sign-in does not require any specific protocol. See web-sign-in-protocol for a more detailed example of Web sign-in, or http://microformats.org/wiki/web_sign-in.
