Google is everywhere on the internet serving people at every nook, we also seek it to help us for good and bad both. This time again Google is serving for people, by offering the OpenID provider from its blogspot platform.

One can easily have an OpenID for each of owned blog URLs which can be used on any website that accepts OpenID 1.1 authentication.

How to Get one ?

Simply edit your profile at blogspot and mark the check for Enable OpenID for Blogs and it’s done.

However they say:

Since this feature is still in draft, there are a few caveats:

  1. We currently do not support OpenID for blogs that aren’t hosted on Blog*Spot or a custom domain, such as FTP blogs. However, the OpenID web site has a help page that explains how to workaround this limitation by delegating your FTP blog to a Blogger-hosted blog.
  2. If you say “Yes, Always” to trust an OpenID site forever, you cannot now delete that trust. We will add this feature soon.

Some more ID provider’s are:

myOpenID.com, GetOpenID.com, TypeKey, MyLID.net , claimID.com, OpenProfile, netliberty.ru, OpenID.cn
