You can now use your WordPress.com URL as an OpenID, and we’re going to release the MU plugin that does it after getting some kinks worked out. This is also a bit of a coming out for Simon Willison, who implemented it all. Welcome to the team. 🙂

Will we be seeing a downloadable plugin for non MU users?
Matt is there an OpenID plugin for standard WordPress installs as well going to be released?
Trent
That’s great news – way to take the plunge. Chris must be thrilled 😉
Oh, and congrats on adding Simon to the team!
Simon Willison is at Automattic? You guys continue to impress…
Sounds great. Coincidentally was thinking (hoping) about this in particular just last night. All the best to you guys. Oh an props man for being the youngest guy on PC Magazine’s 50 Most Important People On the Web list.
A step in the right direction for sure. Good job, Simon.
Oh, and congratulations Simon! 🙂
Hello,
Great idea !
What would be enven greater is a plug in allowing personal WP install to use wordpress.com openID system for login (a good link between the big wordpress.com country and the samll personal WP install islands)
Great! But now the big, unavoidable question is: When will WordPress become an OpenID consumer as well? 🙂
Nice! I have been playing around with openid for a while now. cool stuff.
How cool! Nice work, and nobody better than Simon to do it.
Cool, will there be a post on our admin screens when it comes out?
Great – thanks!
Looking forward for the MU plugin 🙂
I look forward to when this can be used as part of the commenting system, on my standalone WordPress installation.
well.. in fact this exists. I just discovered wpopenid ( http://sourceforge.net/projects/wpopenid/ ) and it works pretty wedl
This is totally awesome! But I agree, I want to see WordPress become a consumer as well!
Ah, and Will Norris is doing some great work extending Alan’s work:

Great ! This is something that was needed for a long time.
Wordpress continues to surprise in a very positive way =O)
Keep up the good work =O)
