&gt; The original OpenID authentication protocol was developed in May 2005[43] by Brad Fitzpatrick, creator of popular community website LiveJournal, while working at Six Apart.[44] Initially referred to as Yadis (an acronym for &quot;Yet another distributed identity system&quot;),[45] it was named OpenID after the openid.net domain name was given to Six Apart to use for the project.[46] OpenID support was soon implemented on LiveJournal and fellow LiveJournal engine community DeadJournal for blog post comments and quickly gained attention in the digital identity community.[47][48] Web developer JanRain was an early supporter of OpenID, providing OpenID software libraries and expanding its business around OpenID-based services.</span>

&gt; In mid-January 2008, Yahoo! announced initial OpenID 2.0 support, both as a provider and as a relying party, releasing the provider service by the end of the month.[66] In early February, Google, IBM, Microsoft, VeriSign and Yahoo! joined the OpenID Foundation as corporate board members.[67] Around early May, SourceForge, Inc. introduced OpenID provider and relying party support to leading open source software development website SourceForge.net.[68] In late July, popular social network service MySpace announced support for OpenID as a provider.[69] In late October, Google launched support as an OpenID provider and Microsoft announced that Windows Live ID would support OpenID.[70] In November, JanRain announced a free hosted service, RPX Basic, that allows websites to begin accepting OpenIDs for registration and login without having to install, integrate and configure the OpenID open source libraries.[71]
&gt; 
&gt; In January 2009, PayPal joined the OpenID Foundation as a corporate member, followed shortly by Facebook in February. The OpenID Foundation formed an executive committee and appointed Don Thibeau as executive director. In March, MySpace launched their previously announced OpenID provider service, enabling all MySpace users to use their MySpace URL as an OpenID. In May, Facebook launched their relying party functionality,[72][73] letting users use an automatic login-enabled OpenID account (e.g. Google) to log into Facebook.[74]
&gt;  
&gt; In September 2013, Janrain announced that MyOpenID.com would be shut down on February 1, 2014; a pie chart showed Facebook and Google dominate the social login space as of Q2 2013.[75] Facebook has since left OpenID; it is no longer a sponsor, represented on the board, or permitting OpenID logins.[15][76]</span>

&gt; Most of the related work for moving OpenID infrastructure forward is occurring outside of the immediate OpenID specifications community:
&gt; 
&gt; Projects like XRDS-Simple (<a href="http://xrds-simple.net/)">http://xrds-simple.net/)</a> are evolving the Yadis discovery protocol.
&gt; EAUT (<a href="http://eaut.org/)">http://eaut.org/)</a> among others are looking at email address-style identifiers.
&gt; The OpenID Foundation is investigating security considerations and improvements.
&gt; Various groups are working on projects that start to integrate OpenID with the browser (Sxipper, VeriSign&#39;s OpenID Seatbelt, Higins, OpenID for Flock).
&gt; In addition, since the release of OpenID 2.0, OAuth (<a href="http://oauth.net/)">http://oauth.net/)</a> is now a finalized specification that is gaining adoption and has a workflow similar to OpenID Authentication.</span>
