When I get the new BattleBazaar.com website up and running, it will be using the new OpenID authentication.  It is not up right now (what’s there now is just a dummy site I was using for testing).  When that happens, I will post it here as well as to the front page of the Wiki.

When it happens, to gain access to either BattleBazaar.net or BattleBazaar.com, you will have to use your OpenID to log in.  The first time you attempt to log in, it’s going to go to a registration wizard.  It’s going to ask the other website for as much information as it can get, to automatically fill in the registration, but Yahoo won’t give it very much.  Once you’ve gotten it filled in, you’ll go into an “activated but unapproved” status, and it’s going to give a notification to the administrators network that there is an unapproved user.  I’m going to log in, and approve the account and assign you to the roles and groups you should be in.

From that point in, logins throughout the website are going to be using OpenID.

Yahoo doesn’t currently give much information at all when a site asks for it, but some other providers (myopenid.com, for example) do.
