  • Excellent plugin and outstanding developer support

    I’m using this OpenID Connect Generic Client plugin to integrate WordPress with Microsoft Entra ID (Azure AD), and it works exactly as expected. During my setup I encountered a JWT validation issue related to JWKS handling. I reported it to the developer, and the response was absolutely impressive — the issue was understood, fixed, and resolved in less than 24 hours. This level of responsiveness and professionalism is rare and highly appreciated. The plugin itself is clean, flexible, and perfectly suited for enterprise authentication scenarios. It integrates smoothly with modern identity providers and gives full control over the configuration. Huge thanks to the developer for the fast support and for maintaining such a reliable and well-designed plugin.Highly recommended for anyone needing OpenID Connect / SSO on WordPress.

  • It just works!

    As simple as it needs to be with no added cruft. Easy to configure and use.

  • Best OpenID plugin and free!

    After testing multiple OpenID plugins – even paid one – this is by far the best. Thank you! Some suggestions for improvements: more flexible filtering, better documentation and enhanced multisite support.

  • Best Openid client plugin by far.

    Every other plugin is simply a trap to get you paying a premium version. This one simply works as expected, with no bloatware. :)

  • The best there is, lightweight and easy to use

    Been trying all other OpenID plugins, ended up uninstalling them, premium issues, bloatware, etc. Tried this once only, now i'm using it on all my Wordpress sites. thanks a lot! I just hope it's maintained.
