I want to integrate the same registration process that Stack Overflow has into my website. Does anyone know if this is possible and any ways I can go about doing this?

I am using ASP.NET MVC for my site implementation. It would be awesome if someone could point me in the right direction with some examples etc.

    @close-voter(s) : I don't think that this belongs on meta : the question is not about SO, but about integrating something like OpenId (used on SO) on another website -- so, looks programming-related to me. – Pascal MARTIN Sep 14 '09 at 19:06
  • Agree, don't close - just using SO as an example. (Unfortunately I did before the edit to make the title clearer). – Rex M Sep 14 '09 at 19:08
  • My mistake, I misunderstood and voted to close: don't! it's valid – gbn Sep 14 '09 at 19:09
  • But stackoverflow uses google accounts and yahoo and AOL accounts etc. as well....I want to know how to implement for each of these as well as OpenID. – Goober Sep 14 '09 at 19:12
  • google etc accounts are openID accounts. And that is how stackoverflow is using them. – Douglas Leeder Sep 14 '09 at 19:14

You can find out how to use OpenID here.

There's also DotNetOpenAuth.

Edit:

Andrew Arnott also pointed out in the comments that there is a pretty awesome OpenID selector control available. The Stack Overflow question it relates to is here.

Thanks Andrew!

    And you can combine it with an OpenID Selector control (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/418790/what-is-a-good-openid-selector-control) to get the UI you're looking for. – Andrew Arnott Sep 15 '09 at 23:34
