OpenID is a decentralized authentication protocol that makes it easy for people to sign up and access web accounts.
OpenID relies on a volunteer community of coders and developers to maintain the libraries, test and keep them bug free and secure, add features and explore new extensions to the protocol.
You can find the latest code in our repository; and we recommend reading the specifications to get started.
Additionally, OpenID plugins and modules are available for several platforms, including WordPress, Drupal, Movable Type and others.
