FWIW, I've used OpenID for login on my personal wiki [1] for a few years and haven't had a spam issue [yet]. To forgo the bother of managing being provider or even relayer, I just use a Dreamwidth (the LiveJournal fork) profile [2]. Always interesting using a url as a login. For those who say that's confusing for the masses, there was a method of mapping e-mail address to OpenID profiles. [3] I was a bit confused as to why OpenID Connect turned out the way it did, moving focus from federated to the closed "Login with Facebook/Twitter/GitHub/Dropbox/Google" thing (if they is Oauth/OIDC based?). I guess the above could be related - I get no spam because federated OpenID didn't take off, and federated OpenID didn't take off because companies wished to sidestep a future spam problem.
