OpenID...An "ID"ea whose time has come?

Passport was cool, but in the end it really was too "owned" by Microsoft to become anything more than the first widely-used single sign-on for access to all of a large enterprise's customer-facing web accesses.

I just logged in to the new Plaxo portal using my LiveJournal OpenID. But I could have used any OpenID provider that I liked.

Well, friends, comment at will...is the world ready for OpenID? Something else? Or, no, people will be using separate logins and passwords for every single different site they use for the forseeable future?
