The OP seems to have joined Launchpad yesterday - and it seems that Google is pulling out of or changing away from OpenID 2.0 to pseudo- authentication using OAuth a.k.a. Google+ Sign-In - however it is not clear that all OpenID parties such as this site are making any changes https://help.launchpad.net/YourAccount/OpenID?action=show&redirect=OpenID - I contacted the author of that page but he advised "Hello. I'm afraid I'm no longer involved with Launchpad. Perhaps if you file a bug report the current launchpad team will be able to help."
Wikipedia has a useful reference: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenID tl;dr; I think that at some point in the future you won't be able to sign-in to sites using OpenID authentication using your Google developer identity and vice-versa you won't be able to sign into Google developer sites using your OpenID credentials... -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Mudlet Makers, which is subscribed to Mudlet. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1406144 Title: Move to OpenID Connect Status in Mudlet the MUD client: New Bug description: Some openid providers have deprecated openid 2 and/or shutting it down in favor of openid connect. https://developers.google.com/accounts/docs/OpenID#shutdown-timetable To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/mudlet/+bug/1406144/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~mudlet-makers Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~mudlet-makers More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
