Still, I think OpenID gets too much attention. It was designed to provide authentication for low-value situations, e.g., blog comments, and so it's just not a terrific choice for more serious scenarios.<br>

I agree OpenID should know it's place and stay there so that it does one thing really well rather than encroach on areas that have already been solved really well by other technologies. But I think OpenID hasn't come close to realizing its full potential yet.<br>
