Account Chooser is an industry technique to improve the user experience for logging into a website. This site is for a working group sponsored by the OpenID Foundation to define standards for account choosers.
Mailing list
Join the current mailing list (online archives also available) – oidf-account-chooser-list@googlegroups.com
Note that this list is not hosted with most other OIDF spec lists. We are investigating a false-positive SPAM problem that is happening with the main lists. We have setup an OIDF mailing list (openid-specs-ac) that we plan to move to in the future.
