Identification and authentication are different, though. You identify yourself to a website as a specific user (e.g. using a username) and the website in turn authenticates your claim, i.e. verifies that you are in fact the user you claim to be (e.g. using that user's password).

If you go that route .. your OIDC provider authenticates your claim. The website just trusts some specific OIDC authorities which you must use to create your identity.
If the website in question is using OIDC, sure.
