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:

MyOpenID
GetOpenID
Videntity
LiveJournal
or any of the many others out there..

Your OpenID is the URL that you are given when you sign up.
[[if test="enabled(openid)" then="""
To sign in to this wiki using OpenID, just enter it in the OpenID field in the
signin form. 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 openid="http://yourid.myopenid.com/"
       server="http://www.myopenid.com/server"]]
