Curious to see where the project was at, I went and snooped around, trying out some common beta URLs to see if I could get a sneak peak... (naughty naughty) and, finding nothing, it dawned on me that Jason Fried was probably using his standard domain prefix for his account... just as he's [done with the Backpack reviews](http://jf.backpackit.com/pub/872?ref=chrismessina.me). Sure enough, there was a welcome page at `jf.highrisehq.com` but what else did I discover? None other than [a link to "Login with OpenID"](http://www.flickr.com/photos/factoryjoe/413210323/?ref=chrismessina.me). I tried logging in and it went through all the proper steps -- so it does look like this is a functioning feature. So it appears that the [37 Signals](http://www.37signals.com/?ref=chrismessina.me) guys have finally drunk the Koolaid and will be supporting [OpenID](http://openid.net/?ref=chrismessina.me)... I [asked for this awhile ago](http://factoryjoe.com/blog/2006/07/09/539/?ref=chrismessina.me) but now, with DHH [on the case](http://www.loudthinking.com/arc/000604.html?ref=chrismessina.me) and [writing code](http://agilewebdevelopment.com/plugins/openidauthentication?ref=chrismessina.me), it seems that it's actually going to happen. And I couldn't be more excited about it. Finally, one login for all my Basecamps, Backpacks, Campfires, Tada Lists... and now, Highrise. This is exactly the way it's supposed to work. --- ### 💬 Comments from the original post **[Sameer Vasta](http://vasta.myopenid.com/?ref=chrismessina.me)** · 2007-03-06 20:30:04 Super sneaky of you to find that, but I'm glad you did.
