Actually, sooner rather than later would be good because I signed up for identi.ca with my OpenId and can't figure out a way to add my identi.ca info to ping.fm now.
I’m slightly irked

I am in the same boat, too. Just started a new topic about it. I want to be able to post to identi.ca through Ping.fm IM. -
Inappropriate?I'm in the same boat. Can't link Ping.fm to identi.ca because I use OpenId too.
I’m frustrated

Inappropriate?There is a work around for this. Read more here: http://getsatisfaction.com/pingfm/top...
I’m thankful

Inappropriate?Sergio, there is just a question there, no workaround that I can see. -

Inappropriate?Sorry about the confusion, tabrez. I thought my link would show the entire topic thread, not just the first entry.
jgill, you posted the appropriate link. Specifically, these are the instructions I followed (as per Sandy Kemsley):
Just to clarify, I do the following steps:
1. Logout from identi.ca
2. Click Login
3. Click "Lost or forgotten password?"
4. Provide my screen name or email address (I've tried both) and click Recover.
identi.ca had a glitch in this system, but it finally worked for me and I was able to add identi.ca to Ping.fm.
I’m happy
-
Inappropriate?Thanks Sergio! I am finally able to post to identi.ca from ping.fm :)
But how is this different from just registering a new account at identi.ca(and then adding openid account to it)? The whole point was to avoid creating yet another account...
I’m thankful

Inappropriate?Tabrez, until Ping.fm gets onboard with OpenID, it's a workaround to give us the ability to do what we want.
I’m confident
-
Inappropriate?So as a workaround, instead of going through all the hoops to recover password, one can just select a password by going to Settings -> Password section on Identi.ca.
I’m happy

Inappropriate?Well, ReJaw has been added as a service to ping.fm. ReJaw uses OpenID and does NOT provide an option for OpenID users to get a password. I've reported this as a problem to ReJaw, but it is another case where ping.fm really needs to start supporting OpenID. In this case, there isn't a workaround.

There is no way to hook up a site that only supports OpenID other than the providing site supplies some form of authsub or OAuth mechanism for user authentication. As these methods of authentication become more popular, there is no alternative. Luckily for Rejaw, you can use their "secondary password" that you can locate here: http://rejaw.com/tools
