[OpenID] My password is 'password'

Thinking on the past discussions about countering users' training to 
enter their passwords at a prompt, I wonder if they can instead be 
trained to enter their actual password when at the main site, and 
'identity' (or 'openid', or any number of accepted synonyms) when 
elsewhere, thus providing a solution to two problems:

1) Counter-training users instead of un-training them (the latter 
weakens their habits at the main site).
2) How to indicate that they want to login with an OpenID (external) 
Identity rather than log in as a normal user for the RP/site in 
question.
