Sign up with Google using OpenID

On September 7, 2010, Google announced its involvement in the OpenID community by integrating OpenID into its signup process, specifically allowing Yahoo! users to sign up using OpenID without needing a password. While Google had not yet adopted OpenID for its own sites, it expressed plans to expand this feature to other email providers that support OpenID and related standards like OAuth, such as Microsoft's Live identity APIs. This approach enables websites to verify users' email addresses using OpenID, with Yahoo!'s API facilitating this process. Additionally, Gmail and Google Apps users can leverage this feature due to their systems' compatibility with OpenID APIs, as demonstrated by websites like Plaxo that utilize this capability.
