Best generic OpenID Connect plugin available for WordPress

This plugin is far superior to the earlier generic OpenID Connect plugin that was available here in the WordPress directory, and it’s actively maintained. I started using it from the GitHub repo before it was available in the official directory. This plugin provides the features needed to work with any OpenID Connect authentication service.

I work with researchers and scientists in the academic community, and I use this plugin to allow people to login to WordPress sites using their campus ids rather than creating a new ID for each site. (Folks who work in academic communities already have login services provided by their institutions. The last thing they need is yet another username and password to keep track of!) Combined with Globus (www.globus.org, see below), this OpenID Connect plugin provides a solid solution.

Globus is a non-profit research data management service for the academic and scientific research community. One of the features we offer is an OpenID Connect-based authentication service. We currently have 90,000+ researchers at 450+ institutions using Globus to login and manage data for their work. Globus allows researchers to use their campus login services (for example: Berkeley, Harvard, University of Maryland) to login. And, because academics often have accounts at more than one institution, Globus allows them to link their identities from different providers (like Google or ORCID) so they can use them interchangeably and in combination.
