Is Facebook an OpenID provider?


Is Facebook an OpenID provider? I know they are an OpenID supporter but do they allow people to authenticate with other sites via OpenID with their Facebook credentials?

  1. No, they're not an OpenId provider. They use their own OpenID-like system called Facebook connect, which you can use to authenticate users on your site, among other features.

    You can check it out here: http://developers.facebook.com/docs/guides/web/

  2. Facebook is not an OpenID provider, they do however allow OpenID login using Google accounts.

    OpenID provides a list of the most popular providers.

  3. There is an unofficial Facebook OpenID Provider available at:

    You can eaisly use it to log in any OpenID site with Facebook accounts.
