- In 2.0 RC1.1, Simple Machines Forum allows the administrator to allow registration using an OpenID.
Some of the companies (especially the biggest ones) which did enable OpenID have been criticized for being a provider of OpenID identities to third-party websites, without being an OpenID consumer and allowing credentials of another website to work with their own websites. (For example, logging into Yahoo through Windows Live credentials).[45]

OpenID is a decentralized single sign-on system. Using OpenID-enabled sites, web users do not need to remember traditional authentication tokens such as username and password. Instead, they only need to be previously registered on a website with an OpenID "identity provider", sometimes called an i-broker. Since OpenID is decentralized, any website can employ OpenID software as a way for users to sign in; OpenID solves the problem without relying on any centralized website to confirm digital identity.
OpenID is increasingly gaining adoption amongst large sites, with organizations like AOL acting as a provider. In addition, integrated OpenID support has been made a high priority in Firefox 3[1] and Microsoft is working on implementing OpenID 2.0 in Windows Vista.[2]

Gary BurgeOpenID is a decentralized digital identity system, in which any user's online identity is given by URL (such as for a blog or a home page) or an XRI (such as an i-name or i-number), and can be verified by any server running the protocol.
