ClaimID
{{short description|Defunct British social networking website}}
ClaimID was a website that allowed users to create unique profiles that showed personal websites, profiles at other sites, and other biographical information. The goal of ClaimID was to help users collect and screen information created about them and by them on the web, to help them manage their online identity.{{cite web|url=http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/life_and_style/career_and_jobs/graduate_management/article4019375.ece|title=The Times & The Sunday Times}}{{dead link|date=September 2024|bot=medic}}{{cbignore|bot=medic}}

There was facility to create OpenID along with creating a new account on ClaimID. By October 2013 this was not working.
In August 2007, Peter Saint-Andre submitted an Internet-Draft draft to the IETF defining the MicroID spec.{{cite web|url=http://weblog.terrellrussell.com/tag/ietf/|title=MicroID submitted as IETF Internet Draft}} MicroID was a deployed Internet standard designed for use as a lightweight, decentralized identity primitive in web applications and communities.{{cite journal|url=http://www.cs.brown.edu/~cce/papers/microid-privacy-tr.pdf|title=MicroID considered harmful (to privacy)|date=2008-06-20|access-date=2015-01-14|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160304201621/http://cs.brown.edu/~cce/papers/microid-privacy-tr.pdf|archive-date=2016-03-04|url-status=dead}}
