This page describes Launchpad's role as an [http://openid.net/ OpenID] provider. Launchpad currently supports OpenID [http://openid.net/specs/openid-authentication-2_0.html 2.0].

What is OpenID?

[http://openid.net/ OpenID] is a free and easy way to use a single digital identity across the Internet. With one OpenID you can login to all your favorite websites and forget about online paperwork! Best of all, you can now use your Launchpad account as your single digital identity.

What do I have to do to enable it?

Nothing! Your existing Launchpad ID is already enabled for your use. To protect your privacy, we do not expose your Launchpad account name. Instead we use an ID number to link back to your account.
