And to be honest, OpenID isn't much better currently with regard to the number of sites using it, unfortunately. I like OpenID but I don’t get many chances to use it.

Bare openid seems to be going away.  I've had to change mine on every site that I formerly used it on.  Finally gave up and started using Google as my provider. *sigh*

To make something like this work and be accepted, you either need a great deal of financial or moral clout behind you. Mozilla has neither.

And, as was noted, the way it works can be considered a stopgap at best.

Can the next contestant please step up?  ;D

Wouldn't web id's and stuff eventually evolve like mailing addresses did?  I don't know the history, but I imagine when mailing addresses first were formalized, a similar thing occurred with privacy and such, no?

Large tech sites mostly allow a sign-in by OpenID, some board systems added that... well.
