There are a few DISadvantages to this proposal:

    * it works on all password forms, not just for OpenID
    * it forcefully disrupts the flow of the user


FUNCTION warning-dialog.onshow()

	IF warning-dialog.contains-dont-show-again-checkbox()
		dont-show-again-checkbox.select()
		ok-button.click
		RETURN ok
	END IF

	IF anti-phishing-mitigation.is-addon()
		anti-phishing-mitigation.uninstall()
		RETURN ok
	END IF

	browser.uninstall()
	RETURN not-ok

END FUNCTION


What's wrong with an identity manager?
