Mudlet's wiki requires the use of openID for authentication. You can't even
create a standalone account there without an openID provider such as Google.

Google is turning off openID 2.0 in favor of openID Connect, so the wiki
will need to be updated accordingly if it is to continue to support
authentication via Google.

You should also investigate what other providers are deprecating openID 2.0.
