I think OpenID has proven to be uneffective, some (HN popular) sites have removed it again (37signals? not sure).

I have problems with OpenID, too, because I tend to be unable to remember which OpenID login I used for a site.



Why do you use more than one? I thought the point was that you could sign in once with your OpenID and be signed in everywhere.


It just happened, I was a little bit careless and used both Yahoo and Google. I don't remember the exact problems anymore - I think also if the web site does not link directly to the OpenID provider it is hard to fill in the details.

Or maybe it was that Yahoo creates several OpenID logins?
