Now Yahoo users can use their ID and password on non-Yahoo websites that support the OpenID 2.0 digital identiry framework, starting January 30.

Already, almost 10,000 Web sites support OpenID, an open framework available for free to end users and Web site operators alike, according to the OpenID Foundation.

Yahoo’s move will triple the number of OpenID accounts to 368 million by adding its 248 million active registered users to the rolls, the company said Thursday.
