Open ID Is A Nightmare
So... the problem is that it's too easy to forget your OpenID / its login.<p>I propose that the main reason for this is because browsers (and password-storing applications in general) have practically <i>zero</i> support for OpenID.  It's all handled by hand.  It's all in your head, and nowhere else.<p>Sorta reminds me of, oh... <i>browsers before password managers</i>.  Far far more people used only a couple username/password combinations, or stored their ones in a text file somewhere.  Now that managers are integrated, and secure external ones exist, it's viable to actually be safer with your logins, and many more people do so.  And now I rely so heavily on my password manager, I only know a couple key points-of-entry where its data is stored - the rest of my passwords are all randomly generated.<p>OpenID is essentially the next step, and it's precisely the same end-user problem.  Imagine if browsers supported it natively via a profile-like system; pick a profile, and every site you've associated with it is immediately logged in for you.  You'd be able to handle multiple people using your computer easily - just enter a password to use that profile, and everything can be switched for you.  No need to launch that password manager for every site, you sign in <i>once</i> and everything is automatically connected from that point.<p>OpenID can be <i>significantly</i> more user-friendly than username + password.  It just isn't there yet.
