Can you use OpenID Connect without getting OAuth credentials?

In the Google OpenID Migration Guide for migrating from OpenID 2.0 to OpenID Connect, step 1 is that I need to get the OAuth credentials for my application.

One thing that I like about the “regular” OpenID is that I can allow my users to authenticate from any IDP of their choice. Regardless of whether they use Google, Yahoo, or any other endpoint, as a developer, I don’t have to worry about manually getting the OAuth credentials from each of these providers and setting up my application to support them.

As providers stop supporting traditional OpenID, is there a way to allow users to continue using their current IDPs without having to go through them and manually obtain OAuth credentials?

To achieve this, OpenID Connect uses OpenID Connect Discovery and OpenID Connect Dynamic Client Registration , but, of course, your OpenID Connect provider must support these extensions.
