RPs should allow users to bind multiple identifiers to a user's account, 
and allow users to add and remove them.

For most consumer oriented websites, account recovery via verified email 
address is probably the most realistic option. Many users have problems 
remembering their secret questions, and the secret answers may change 
over time. (Your favorite movie might change) Additionally, many the 
answers to many secret questions might not be all that secret. (when did 
you graduate high school, what's your hometown)
