> Every time I see a web app supporting openid Im glad that I don't have to invent yet another user/password combo
The problem is most people don't bother doing this; they just trust every site with the same password. The benefit I see in OpenID is that it is not a secret, and canot be "compromised" (intentionally or not) in the same way as passwords.
(I also am one of the few, it seems, to use OpenID for my 37signals account)
