Wordpress OpenID doesn't work with StackOverflow

Question

To login on stackoverflow, being already logged into wordpress, I select wordpress, then inform my wordpress id into the stackoverflow OpenID login system: myOpenID - and it always logged in. But today for the first time a strange message appears:

You do not own that identity.

I already followed these steps, but the problem persists:

• You do not own that identity.

I also tried the same steps on OSX and Linux, using Firefox, Google Chrome and Safari... but nothing changed.

Some others also got stuck with the same problem:

• https://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/83715/cant-login-with-wordpress-openid-anymore-receive-you-do-not-own-that-identity

So, what is wrong with wordpress openID? And how to get it working again? Or I simply should proceed as recovering a lost account?

All comments and any help is highly welcome.

Answer 1

To clean the problem that was not allowing to get logged through wordpress openID, the solution was to get into the wordpress and then I deleted all site URL there:

Dashboard >  Settings > OpenID > URL [x].
Delete

When I tried again to login again, it asked me to give the permission, and it worked.

I also noticed that wordpress openID works a little bit better with StackExchange than with StackOverflow. So, I finally managed to get logged with wordpress openID through my StackExchange profile. From my StackExchange dashboard, in [my logins], I included additional options for login, such as google openID. Currently I only use google openID as it seems more stable and is working nicely.

Answer 2

My problems were different:

1. I hadn't a blog registered to my WordPress username.
2. StackOverflow doesn't use https but WordPress requires you to do that.
