[OpenID] What is my Google OpenID URL?

[Peter Williams]

come  on google, it takes you 10s to have a redirector URL (op.google.com, perhaps?) redirect to the https://www.google.com/accounts/o8/id. Conforming RPs are require to follow the redirect, before detecting that the XRD at that address is an law#4-capable OP, vs a user.


http://tinyurl.com/googop now produces
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
-<file:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/peter/Desktop/id.xml#> <xrds:XRDS xmlns:xrds="xri://$xrds" xmlns="xri://$xrd*($v*2.0)">
-<file:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/peter/Desktop/id.xml#> <XRD>
-<file:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/peter/Desktop/id.xml#> <Service priority="0">
  <Type>http://specs.openid.net/auth/2.0/server</Type>
  <Type>http://openid.net/srv/ax/1.0</Type>
  <Type>http://specs.openid.net/extensions/ui/1.0/mode/popup</Type>
  <Type>http://specs.openid.net/extensions/ui/1.0/icon</Type>
  <Type>http://specs.openid.net/extensions/pape/1.0</Type>
  <URI>https://www.google.com/accounts/o8/ud</URI>
  </Service>
  </XRD>

im sure google can do better than tinyurl.com!

How about op.google.com?!

Note that using your Blogger blog URL is not equivalent to using https://www.google.com/accounts/o8/id.  Besides the user interface of the login experience being completely different, Blogger's Provider is only an OpenID 1.1 provider, whereas Google's https://www.google.com/accounts/o8/id OpenID Provider is a more secure OpenID 2.0 provider.

If you create a blog on Google's blogger service, then you can type the name of that blog into OpenID login boxes.

If you are willing to be really geeky, type in https://www.google.com/accounts/o8/id.  That points to the generic Google identity provider, and you will be redirected back with an opaque identifier.  But we don't actually expect anyone to know to do that which is why a lot of OpenID relying parties are supporting other user interfaces with buttons for Google.  For example, see http://uservoice.com/session/new

Similarly a lot of blogs allow you to comment and identify you with an OpenID URL, and while you can try one of the tricks above, many of the blog commenting interfaces also include buttons (or the NASCAR style UI as the community likes to call it) to help users navigate their way through.

Hi,

I'm sorry for asking such an obvious question, but after considerable
time spent searching for this I am unable to figure this out.

My google account name is paul.paj. I would like to login to
bitbucket.org<http://bitbucket.org> using OpenID. How do I do it?
