[[meta title="OpenID"]]

OpenID is a decentralized authentication mechanism that allows you to have one login that you can use on a growing number of websites.

To sign up for an OpenID, visit one of the following identity providers:

To sign in to this wiki using OpenID, just enter it in the OpenID field in the signin form. (If the field does not appear, OpenID signin is disabled.) You do not need to give this wiki a password or go through any registration process when using OpenID.


It's also possible to make a page in the wiki usable as an OpenID url, by delegating it to an openid server. Here's an example of how to do that:

\[[meta link="http://www.myopenid.com/server" rel="openid.server"]]
\[[meta link="http://yourid.myopenid.com/" rel="openid.delegate"]]
