How to Enable OpenID Server in a WordPress Blog
One of the drawbacks of commenting on many blogs is that you often need to create a unique username and password for each one. This is inconvenient, and the inconvenience causes some to choose not to comment on blog posts. OpenID is one potential solution for this problem, as it lets you use the same account to log in to any website that supports the OpenID standard. Add OpenID support to your WordPress website by installing the OpenID plugin.
