OpenID: With What Would You Entrust It?
Lifehacker's got an interesting rundown of what's good and bad about OpenID.
On the pro side: It's convenient when it's not inconvenient or plain old not working.
On the con side: It's potentially corrosive of your privacy and there are some real security issues that make its use for anything besides trivial signons (e.g. blog commenting) problematic.
Any temptation I've had to use OpenID has been mitigated by Password Composer, which I wrote about briefly over at Practically Networked last week.
