How to Improve OpenID Usability

I'm still not sure why it wouldn't be something that can double (or look like) an email address. It has drawbacks, but it wins on usability because everyone is doing it today.

Even if Yahoo said your openid is: thorax@openid.yahoo.com

people are going to remember that a lot better than: http://openid.yahoo.com/users/thorax

(or whatever their syntax is now).

I really want something like OpenID everywhere. That's why I hope/want Clickpass to get traction because it's much closer to providing an email address as a login option.

Are they still trying to force that open id stuff onto the web? The people said no already, many times and with conviction. Give it up, Open ID has already failed. Nobody likes it, we don't need to be 'educated' on it.
