How do I create a Stack Overflow-like registration process?

I am wondering how I can build the registration process like we have in Stack Overflow, where a user can login using one of several already existing accounts? I would prefer using Rails as a technology platform.

You can use omniauth gem to implement openId auth. Also, it possible to extend your existing user auth systems. See great screencast about this at railscast: OmniAuth Part 1

Check out OmniAuth. There are a few railscasts describing it.

I'm not sure this is exactly what you need, but the devise module, available on github, makes it very easy to build a authentication system in a rails application.

For authorization, another great module is called "cancan". You might need that too.
