OpenId for gmail

Anybody know how to get OpenID working on gmail? All I find is this http://openid-provider.appspot.com/, which gives 302 moved followed by GET not supported on this URL.

I'm assuming this one is broken. Any others?

I think it's not possible. But the opposite (using a gmail account as a openID) i think it's possible.

I'm going to accept this answer as it is close to what I ended up doing (I lost patience and created an OpenId from myopenid using the gmail account for reset password.Anyway, the correct answer is subject to change.

Do you want to use your GMail account as an OpenID? Go through Blogspot -- it's tied to your GMail account. Just create a new blog, like "myblog.blogspot.com", and then you can use that for signing in to StackOverflow.

This works as an OpenID: https://www.google.com/accounts/o8/id

It went live on October 30th, 12 days after the question was asked.

Update: Some pages do not support https://www.google.com/accounts/o8/id format, if they ask for an url, I found a way to do use your Google Account (gmail) as an OpenID.

  1. Browse to http://www.google.com/profiles/me and sign in
  2. If you don't have a profile, create one.
  3. Use http://www.google.com/profiles/yournamehere as the OpenID, it should the url of the browser
