I have had no problems (or difficulties) with OpenID - set up an account on myopenid.com, pasted two lines into the source of the root page of my domain that delegates to myopenid, and then I just use that.

I haven't come across a scenario where openid did not work. Care to elaborate?

I think of openid as the git of the login systems. Elegant in it's simplicity but comes with a minor learning curve and the benefits of climbing the learning curve far outweigh the cost of doing so. And very much like git, it takes 15 minutes to get over the learning curve if you are good with google and/or have some guidance.

i can relate to that - with logging with openid here in HN. I had to post an "ask hn" to catch attention of pg - who resolved it. I couldn't make head or tail of what was happening and strongly assumed that clickpass was at fault. Then pg said he had to fix some code.

Oh. I, too, had an issue logging in with OpenID here. I finally gave in and reset my password so I could log in with that.
