I use OpenID with my gmail account to login to Toodledo, but I don't see the link for OpenID on the sign-in box any more. Was that option removed?

OpenID never really caught on. In fact, less than 20 people use it with Toodledo. So, we are phasing it out. For now, you can still login using OpenID by going directly to the following page:

https://www.toodledo.com/openid.php

But you should switch to using a regular email/password soon since we will be discontinuing OpenID login due to unpopularity.

Hard to say, since Toodledo doesn't support OpenID 2.0 so you have to do some gymnastics to get it to work with your Google login. I'd imagine there are some who might have been interested but didn't bother because it didn't work with the services they usually use.

It'd be nice if in the future Toodledo got the ability to log in via partnership with Google and other services, like where you see on other sites where you can sign in using your Google, Facebook, etc. login.

Thanks for the great service!

That's great! If everyone does this we will not have to change so many passwords when heartbleed turns up.
