Launchpad itself

Google OpenID and a Launchpad OpenID. I want to use my Google ID for Launchpad! How can I get it to work together?

Asked by James Crawford

I've been checking out this OpenID that Canonical have used, and soon found out that Google offer it too, but it was too late, both were setup, now I want to use my Google ID for every OpenID supported program, including Lanuchpad. What am I to do?

EDIT: There is a "-deactivatedaccount" hanging at the end on my Launchpad OpenID. How did that get there to?

"-deactivatedaccount" tagline was removed. Can't tell if it fixed anything apart from a shorter name

Launchpad is a OpenID Provider and not a Client/Consumer [yet?]

So, this means that you can use OpenID provided by LaunchPad with any website that supports OpenID (Consumer) but LaunchPad does not acept other OpenID providers.
 More info can be found at Launchpad's OpenID FAQ: https://help.launchpad.net/YourAccount/OpenID
