Talk:List of OpenID providers

Work in progress!
Add any categories/notable providers that you can think of...I'm certainly not claiming this to be an exhaustive list.

yet another list?
Does Wikipedia need to attempt to maintain yet another list of providers? There are better references available:


 * openid.net's "How do I get an OpenID?" and provider list
 * Provider Comparison at Spread OpenID
 * OpenID Directory's provider list

strong auth on myOpenID
myOpenID is under the "password-based" category here. It's true that most myOpenID accounts have passwords. It's also true that you can use SSL client certificates or information cards, and if you have either of those authentication methods, you may remove your password entirely. Users with an identity selector installed may create accounts using only an information card without establishing a password.

launchpad is an OpenID provider as well.

 * You are right and I have just added launchpad to the list ;-). --PabloCastellano (talk) 15:52, 19 February 2010 (UTC)

Google not a standards compliant openid provider?
In the interest of full disclosure, I am a Google employee. However, I am pretty sure that the provider at https://www.google.com/accounts/o8/id is a standard compliant provider. I have been able to use my Google account to login to every openid relying party that I have tried it against, including stackoverflow.com, identi.ca, and others that I don't remember off the top of my head. Would someone with a little more OpenID knowledge confirm the accuracy of my claim and, if my claim is correct, update the page to reflect that information. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.198.193.55 (talk) 06:15, 26 May 2009 (UTC)


 * David Recordon mentions in the comments of the cited article that Google uses OpenID 2. If the editor of the spec says it's cool, I'm inclined to consider the source as junk. Josephholsten (talk) 06:19, 2 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Hi, I do not know much about openID, but I also think the link is not (https://www.google.com/accounts/o8/username) but (https://www.google.com/accounts/o8/id). I use Google as OpenID provider, I would confirm this claim. Dsprenkels (talk) 21:23, 30 June 2009 (UTC)
 * I also claim that blogger can still be used as OpenID provider. For example: check the SF.net login page. They're sure about it. I can login in SourceForge using http://dsprenkels.blogspot.com. Dsprenkels (talk) 21:32, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

beemba gone?
It seems to be pretty gone. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Fotoguzzi (talk • contribs) 15:42, 6 January 2010 (UTC)

Organize by popularity?
It seems useful that some of the more well known providers (AOL, Google, LiveJournal, etc) that aren't solely OpenID providers should be at the top of the list? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.163.73.63 (talk) 16:39, 31 March 2010 (UTC)
 * yeah, it totally makes sense --Lo&#39;oris (talk) 11:47, 14 July 2010 (UTC)

myopenid
If myopenid is the "First standalone OpenID provider", don't you think it would deserve an own article? Or does it not? --Lo&#39;oris (talk) 11:46, 14 July 2010 (UTC)
