Anyone has a list of Direct OpenID Providers that utilize unbound discoverable URLs?

So far, I have only found these: myopenid, yahoo, Hyves, myspace, myid.net, google, yahoo japan, AOL, Verisign.

  • What do you mean by "unbound discoverable URL"? Also, you should never assume that any given list of providers is complete. OpenID is a fully decentralized system, and it's just impossible to list every existing provider. – Mewp Aug 14 '10 at 22:18
  • "unbound discoverable URLs" have no username associated with it. For e.g. yahoo.com vs. userid.wordpress.com . i understand that a comprehensive list is not possible, i am just looking for a list of the "popular" ones. I need to use these in a PoC app. Thanks, Saqib – Saqib Ali Aug 24 '10 at 16:42

I have searched some, but I didn't test if they are correct:

A list of different OpenID-Providers and their URLs is on Wikipedia and on SpreadOpenID.org. Another site with a list is here. As OpenID is a decentralised service, nobody can give you a definite list.

    Thanks for the response. I understand the OpenID is a decentralized service, but we should be able to create a wiki page somewhere to maintain a list. – Saqib Ali Mar 02 '11 at 04:46
