[OpenID] Verisign Announces Free OpenID Digital Lockbox

[Andrew Arnott]

Sorry... this doesn't seem like OpenID authentication to me.  Verisign only
lets you log into the vault using your PIP account, which although PIP is an
OpenID Provider, means that OpenID has nothing to do with your
authentication experience.  You can't use any openid to log in -- you just
log in with your PIP username and password, and a hardware credential that
costs at least $30 to boot.
