Take the tour ×  Does OpenID expose your email address to the
websites that use the service? For example, when using
stackoverflow with google openID provider is my google address
exposed to stackoverflow? (It seems like it is because it
displays my email) Is there a way to prevent that? I thought
OpenID was supposed to be private?  share|improve this question
This sounds more like a security or webmaster focussed question
instead of power web apps users. Feel free to disagree. –  Eight

disagree. I had a hard time knowing which SE site to use. This
proliferation of sites, while probably a good idea, is a pain
sometimes. I really wanted to ask it on stackoverflow because it
would have the most eyes on it. –  User Jul 21 '11 at 0:29 I
think this question belongs here because it deals with a
question that the user or OpenID might ask rather than the
developer of an OpenID application. –  Rincewind42 Jul 21 '11 at
