this description is so misleading

'OpenID is an identity system that allows you to have one username and 
one password for multiple sites. Your username is an URL. The password 
is whatever you choose (and like all paswords you should keep it secret).'

by emphasizing the password, it both

a) suggests that OpenID works through password sync
b) suggests that OpenID cant work with anything other than a passowrd 
(which, in a sense, is currently true)
