I have just been informed about the new initiative of the OpenID foundation: "There are many technical protocols support by identity providers (OpenID v2, SAML, OAuth2, OpenIDConnect, etc.) The Account Chooser is not specific to the protocol, and the website can even use different protocols to support different identity providers. As protocols evolve in the future, the website can continue to use the Account Chooser experience to hide the protocol details from the user..."

* To provide web site developers and technologists a close look at the OpenID Connect protocol, its use cases and adoption plans by leading companies. * To introduce "Account Chooser" its implementation and user experience * To provide interop testing and feedback for next generation OpenID adoption
