What is a good openid selector control?

Question

Now that idselector has been upgraded to RPXNow and you can't "just use" the selector code, what is a good replacement?

I want to implement OpenId on a new website that I am using, but the users are going to be just dumb when it comes to logging in unless I provide an easy way for them to.

As a reference, I will be using .Net Open Id for the background in an ASP.Net MVC web application.

EDIT

After some cheap thought, what about using the rpxlib?

Answer 1

Jarrett Vance made a "version" of open-selector that is much more developer/designer friendly.

This selector is different because it does not hide the markup details in javascript. Therefore, you can easily add new providers or rearrange the existing ones without digging into the javascript. The login form will still work for normal OpenID logins if javascript is disabled

The best of all, is that it comes with documentation, demo, and lots of images both cropped and as raw .pdn files (paint.net)

Jarrett Vance's openid-selector can be found here

PS: I would suggest reading this article before implementing RPX.

Answer 2

I've made Open-selector, which you just add to your site and switches the regular OpenID box into a provider list and a username text input.

The code is pretty simple (in case you need extra customization) and there is an inline mode so it doesn't alter your original layout.

I was using that one, but then I found a few people using a different one which made me investigate, and I found this OpenID selector. There aren't any instructions per se other than the demo.html, but it shouldn't be too hard to figure out. Just include the css and js, then call the javascript function with the right parameter.

Edit about rpx: I chose to stay away from rpx because I didn't want to have a 'central point of failure,' and a site that isn't my own that users would authenticate to/through. It seems kind of counter-intuitive being that I'm using openid, but if you consider that the openid provider that the user is using as part of the user, then it kind of makes sense.

Another one to consider is http://code.google.com/p/openid-realselector/ (which is a rewrite/update of http://code.google.com/p/openid-selector/)

Answer 5

I have done an implementation with RPXLib and RPXNow, and it is really pretty straight forward.

I wanted to minimize the amount of work done in the OpenId format, and the RxpLib definately helped with that one.

RpxNow also has a nice feature of telling me new users, number of logins per day, etc...
