Even now then web site seems to be down… So what other alternatives do we have? www.clavid.com seems to have a lot of options, but using your own domain name — the way you could do it with myOpenID — isn't one of them.

My favorite part of OpenID has always been that you can delegate your identity using your own site. myOpenID got increasingly spotty for me, so I switched to Google. If I decide to stop trusting Google, delegating elsewhere is almost no effort.

Here are the magic tags for Google:

Just need Stackexchange to upgrade to Persona. That's probably the only place where I've found OpenID useful.

Funny, that's why I originally used OpenID, too. Hooked my Google up to it recently, though.

I think that's the only place I use OpenID. Maybe. I'm not sure, to be honest - every time I go there, I keep selecting providers until I happen to click on the one that I originally chose to log in with.

I'd much rather just have a series of @ usernames with randomly generated passwords.

Well, crap. Anyone else have a good endpoint I can redirect to? I don't want one of my social networks to be the king of my identity. I want to own that with my master domain.

I delegate to Symantec’s (previously Verisign’s) OpenID service:

…it's been pretty solid for me and supports two-factor auth. The of my OpenID endpoint looks like this:

Does delegating to Google also work for Google Apps [for Your Domain]?

Fantastic! I'm implementing that now. Thanks.

I just switched to clavid. As @elektronaut pointed out they do support delegation, and their two-factor authentication supports a big list of OTP standards (so it's compatible with the Google Authenticator): http://www.clavid.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view...
