First sane comment I've seen on this page.. That is by far the best feature of OpenID. If you are paranoid, you can use (or create!) an OpenID end-point that requires one of those random-number-thingys, then to confirm via SMS, the SHA-1 sum of your reti … (see comment)

Gah, no it's not. The username/password in a box schema is an equally bad (or even worse) idea - most people use the same password for their login as their email account, and that email could have far far more than just a list of sites they use.. OpenID … (see comment)
