Dear BioJava team,

today I wanted to fix some broken links on your wiki, but my attempt to 
login using my Google Account ends up in this error message:

================================


  OpenID 2.0 for Google Accounts has gone away

If you've been redirected to this page, it means that you're using a 
website that doesn't support the latest sign-in standards from Google. 
We no longer provide this legacy sign-in service for Google accounts, 
and recommend using an alternative method to sign in on that website. If 
you previously used your Google account to sign in, you may be able to 
recover your account using a “forgot password” feature, or by contacting 
that websites’ support team.

Some websites use OpenID 2.0 for authentication when you're signing in, 
and to access data that you've given them permission to access. OpenID 
2.0 was replaced by OpenID Connect, and since April 20, 2015, no longer 
works for Google Accounts. OpenID 2.0 support was shut down in order to 
focus on the newer open standard OpenID Connect, which provides greater 
security for your account.

================================

Are you please planning to add support for this "latest sign-in 
standards" or should I create OpenID itself?

Thank you in advance,
Jan Stourac.
