Ridiculously misleading title. Yes, OpenID 2.0 is being deprecated, yes they'd like you to move to Google+ Sign-In, but you can also move to OpenID Connect[0], which is a saner realization of OAuth 2.0 than OpenID 2.0 was.
And this is made clear right on the page linked to. There is no way anyone acting in good faith could draw the conclusion that you're being required to move to Google+ Sign-In.

- scrollaway 12y agoI hope the moderators can change the title to "moves to OpenID Connect". As it stands, it's just linkbait to something that doesn't care about clicks.
- nknighthb 12y agoIt's a transparent attempt to cast Google in a negative light by pretending they're requiring use of some proprietary API instead of an open standard, and it's working beautifully (see top-level comment by seanp2k2 and thegenius's reply).
- fintler 12y agoSeriously? Google+ Sign-In is Google's implementation of OpenID Connect. The only conspiracy that exists is the one in your head.
- dang 12y agoDone.
- fintler 12y agoNot a misleading title at all -- Google+ Sign-In is Google's implementation of OpenID Connect. Your comment is misleading however, they're not asking you to pick one or the other -- since they're the same thing.
