I've fixed it and updated the blog post and the zip file. After that, I think we'll have to wait until you get back a proper error message using the new version of the plugin to actually know what's going on. I'm now properly passing through the error returned by Yahoo in case the request_yahoo_credentials doesn't return success. With the error code and message, you should be able to figure out what's going on. I'll take a guess though: The token you get back from Yahoo in the first step (after Yahoo login) is good for two weeks. If it's been longer than that, you need to request a new token.

I got it working on our site <a href="http://www.menuism.com" rel="nofollow">www.menuism.com</a> but every now and then I get an error in "request_yahoo_credentials". I'm not sure if Yahoo is sending faulty messages back or of there's an issue with the code. I'll keep digging into it, but I just thought I'd see if anyone else encountered something similar.

I have a feeling this is where some web apps will go. It may take a while, but authentication schemes are probably the most annoying part of building applications that store anything more than casual user data. It's great that these services are available now, and the more tools that make them easy to use, the more adoption I think we'll see. Thank you.

Theoretically, I could allow users to log onto my apps using Yahoo creditials or Google creditials or they could create a new account with app-specific creditials. And perhaps one or more of the OpenId APIs that are coming out. Do you think web apps will evolve this way? Nic PS Can you email me your response too - I might forget to check back to the comments! :) Nice work.
