Failure linking an account with various OpenID providers
I tried linking my account with google, myopenid, and verisign PIP, and each time got the error: "Failed to authenticate with your Open Id provider." I've successfully used each of these openid accounts with other services, so I'm assuming it's a problem with zotero.org. Can anyone confirm this?
BUT, it would be nice if someone responsible for the web site could provide an authoritative response as to the issue and potential resolution... there are now so many threads that it is becoming more and more unlikely that anyone will find an authoritative response if one exists.......
What IS disconcerting is that Stackoverflow, which I believe uses the Zend framework, DOES work with VerisignLabs OpenIDs....
Some of us users have trac access and can file bugs on trac and there are a pretty substantial number of tickets
https://www.zotero.org/trac/report
when I see something I usually do file a ticket, but since a good number of things that people report as bugs are either no bugs at all or very idiosyncratic, an open system would create more damage than it helps.
The only core devs for Zotero are
Dan Stillman

In any event, let's hope that that this will be resolved by fcheslack in the next few days and that all the various threads can be laid to rest!
