@Mike Thanks very much for your valuable reply. Actually I just need to use Google and Yahoo OpenIDs only. I found Google returns the 'email' attribute of an authenticated account when given the following parameters appended to Google's OpenID url https://www.google.com/accounts/o8/id
&openid.ns.ax=http://openid.net/srv/ax/1.0 &openid.ax.mode=fetch_request &openid.ax.type.email=http://axschema.org/contact/email &openid.ax.required=email These parameters also needs to be appended when a request is made by the OpenID plugin. How can I do that? Which code I need to be edited? On Apr 8, 11:10 pm, "Mike C.
