Over the last week, we have had several users of eyeontesting.com that have suddenly been unable to log in with their Google OpenID. No changes have been made to our OSQA install in months.

I've seen that some Google+ users now have broken Google Profile OpenIDs:

... but our broken OpenID users have not signed up for Google+. That said, my theory at this point is that all of Google's recent changes around Google+ may be impacting a broader audience - including some who have not signed up. To be clear, not all of our Google OpenID users are broken.

Any other OSQA users experiencing a similar recent problem around Google OpenIDs?

Yea, it's a really nasty bug on the Google's side that affects a huge audience slice. As I understood the users who have signed up for Google+ using their normal Google Profiles are affected. But OSQA has nothing to do with it, so I close the question.
