OpenID is an open, decentralized standard for user authentication and access control, allowing users to log onto many services with the same digital identity.

Similar to our support for Facebook Connect, & Twitter Sign-in. OpenID makes it easier and quicker for people to jump into a discussion. To enable Open ID, publishers should proceed to Admin/Settings and enable the feature under Options.

For commenters, just look for the OpenID Sign-in button on sites that have this enabled.

Cheers,
