Hmmm, this list is probably not the best place to discuss the pros and

Security is always a trade-off. OpenID gives you more convenience at
the price of some security (you can lower this price by being your own
OpenID provider, something which is quite simple, unlike what happens
in other identity technologies).

Another solution is to keep a separate identity for every Web site you
visit, something most people find painful.

A reasonable compromise is to have a few OpenID identities, organized
along the lines of your various facets. Work, politics, culture, etc.
