OpenID is a distributed authentication infrastructure which allows you to use your preferred authentication provider with a vast number of OpenID enabled services (e.g. many WordPress powered blogs like our completely renewed isg.phys.ethz.ch, Plaxo social networking, Identi.ca microblogging, SourceForge open source project hosting, etc.) without the need to give them your password or remember the password you set there.

Now you can also use your D-PHYS account on all these sites with our new OpenID Authentication provider, you can login on these sites using the URL https://openid.phys.ethz.ch/<YOUR D-PHYS USERNAME> as your OpenID.
