I'm trying to create an account at commandlinefu using OpenId. It's asking for an "OpenId Identifier". I read this article, but it doesn't really show how to actually get the identifier. I looked all over my Gmail settings.

EDIT: I found the www.google.com/accounts/o8/id?id=xxxxxxxxxxxxxx (long code) in my SuperUser profile. Commandlinefu just says "OpenID login failed". What am I supposed to put there?

I don't think commandlinefu supports Google OpenIDs. They need to properly add it with the method shown here. When added, a link is provided that redirects to Google's login page and uses the login process shown here:

alt text

since their site lacks this, the method cannot be used.

Support for Google OpenIDs has been requested on their uservoice.

Use the following in the OpenID prompt:

https://www.google.com/accounts/o8/id

It will redirect to Google's auth service and if you are already logged in with your Google account then the login to the site using OpenID should be transparent.
