OpenID Plus for bbPress is a bbPress plugin which implements seamless authentication with OpenID for bbPress forum software CMS. The last known good version was from _CK_ who has been missing from the scene for quite a few months now. Thus I took it upon me to work on it further and refine the functionality. This functionality and a lot more is the integral part of a premium bbPress theme I’m about to release in about a week. But for the plugin, it’s free and licensed under GNU GPL. You can download it from the downloads section and take it for trial. OpenID Plus for bbPress does the following out of the box:
- Validate the OpenID provider’s URL.
- Redirect you to the OpenID for authentication.
- Will fetch at least your email address from your OpenID provider.
- Will log you in if you are previously registered with that email address.
- Will register you silently with a nick or first name if available from your OpenID provider/profile.
- Else will register using your email address as username.
- Will log you in on successful registration.
- Throw error if something goes wrong.
So at the end you see nothing if all went fine. The registration success screen etc. is all bypassed and you receive your password in a mail for later use. For now you are logged in and you’d not realize the registration at all.
For support queries etc please use the Binary Turf Forums. It will be good to have some feedback so I know how is it being received.

Great! Its a much demanded plugin
Very correct. It was for an OpenID plugin that I had not been able to explore the full potential of bbPress. Please use this plugin and keep the feedback/feature requests coming.
