New users can register on HootSuite with one click authentication — simply login with your preferred OpenID credentials and your HootSuite account is provisioned on-the-fly. So if you’re onboard with Google, great. A full-blown Yahooigan? Covered. A Mixi member? No Problem. Have a MyOpenID? It’s all good.

Hello I am hootsuite fans How about the security from openid authentication method?if not secure enough that is the highway to steal all of our account.
I couldn’t use my launchpad.net OpenID URL, which use on most websites that support OpenID. Here’s the error message I get (from launchpad.net):
“A site identifying as https://hootsuite.com has asked us for confirmation that https://login.launchpad.net/ id/kbpQTBs is your identity URL. However, that is not a valid OpenID identity URL for this site, such as https://login.launchpad.net/~USER. ”
Any ideas?
