★★★★ http://stackexchange.com OpenID is not their main service. Really simple signup process. Yes 2015-Jan
★★★ http://pip.verisignlabs.com The only pretty much "pure" authentication/security company. (the other ones have something else as their main service) It has a relatively simple signup process, and works great. No 2015-Jan
★ username.wordpress.com Signing up implies a lot of other stuff. If you're not already logged in when you try to use your OpenID, then you must visit the site separately and log in first. Doesn't work with Node.js's openid module Yes 2015-Jan
★ username.livejournal.com OpenIDs are not their main service, but they have a very simple signup process. Doesn't work with Node.js's openid module. Yes 2015-Jan
