I actually don’t use Stack Overflow as a contributor for precisely the same reason: I created my account with an OpenID, the provider is no longer around, and now I can’t log in nor fix it.
- aalear 14y agoYou can create a new account and ask for the accounts to be merged.
- sanxiyn 14y agoSince I am in this exact situation (lost OpenID provider), can you explain how does this work? Any link to documentation?

- getsat 14y agoThis poll is missing an option: I don't use SO because it required OpenID to register. I guess it supports other options now, but back in the day, that's why I never participated.
- Gmo 14y agoHey, same here :) (although I did register a few months back when seeing that they finally had alternative options). However, my reputation is at 1, several reasons to that : - I use it mostly for "consuming". Which by the way, is problematic, because I can't upvote useful answers because my reputation is only at 1 (is there a way around that ?) - I can't really spend time at work to answer questions, and, frankly, have other stuff to do at home (such as doing home projects). Besides, I guess there is always someone answering faster than you :p
