Yeah, looks like an openID wrapper of some kind. I tried it on a few sites with my google ID and it was really slick.
Here’s the WP plug-in. Will let you know if it works with bbpress once I try it.

And yes, good thinking about the log-in–would probably redirect people to always login through wp/rpx just to be sure.
Just wanted to add a note to save someone out there a bit of agony around config.php and extra characters.
I had edited my config.php file and was getting the “Warning: Cannot modify header information…” error upon admin log-in.
But for the life of me, I couldn’t find any whitespace before the “<?php” tag.
And then I remembered…
I had edited the file with Expression Web. I know, I know, my bad. But it just looked nicer, was easier to edit. BUT as I found a few years ago, it has a tendency to add an invisible character before files. Only way to see this would be in a byte editor.
So then I went back to the original sample config.php file, did a new version of my edits, this time in Notepad (good old notepad) and it worked beautifully.
I think the lesson is “mind your text editor.”
