What is OpenID?

OpenID is the decentralized, lightweight protocol for single sign-on and portable identity that is causing a massive disruption in today’s internet.OpenID is still in the adoption phase and is becoming more and more popular. More than 10,000 Web sites currently accept OpenID, a figure growing very fastly, and many of the world’s leading companies, including AOL, Microsoft, Sun, Novell,Google Blogger, VeriSign, France Telecom and Sun Microsystems have adopted or announced support for OpenID enabling over 160 million users.

An OpenID is a URL. An example OpenID URL would be ‘https://ddprajapati.myopenid.com/’, and when asked to sign in to an OpenID-enabled site I would type “https://ddprajapati.myopenid.com/” into the sign in box.
