Yes, as you've discovered, multi-login actually brings more headaches than solutions when not completely baked into all of Google's products — especially multi-login during third-party authentication. <div><br></div>
<div>Google is definitely ahead of the curve in this particular area — where many Google users have multiple Google accounts and want to be logged into several of them at the same time... works great until you go and try to use OpenID — but we'll get there!</div>

Playing around with Google's <a href="http://OpenIdSampleStore.com" target="_blank">OpenIdSampleStore.com</a>:<br>
<br>
I "sign up" with <a href="mailto:foo@gmail.com" target="_blank">foo@gmail.com</a>.<br>
The popup comes up asking me to confirm the login into <a href="http://openidsamplestore.com/" target="_blank">openidsamplestore.com</a> for my account <a href="mailto:johannes.ernst@gmail.com" target="_blank">johannes.ernst@gmail.com</a> (I'm currently logged into Google).<br>
<br>
Does it simply ignore user "foo" that I entered in favor of my current Google session? Why would it do that? Simply a bug or something I don't quite understand?<br>
<br>
The <a href="mailto:openidsamplestore@googlegroups.com" target="_blank">openidsamplestore@googlegroups.com</a> mailing list seems dead, so I'm posting this here.<br>
