OpenID seems like a great future with one small flaw. If OpenID gets hacked then you will loser your account for hundred of website/services. But as long as they keep there security tight it is a great service.

MyOpenID https://www.myopenid.com/signup gives you the option to secure your OpenID with an information card. Doing this means there is no password to phish, since each information card generates a unique PPID for each website where the card is used. Paypal is also a Board member of the Information Card Foundation.

It's good that PayPal is still around doing stuff. I kept getting the idea that PP wasn't doing so well lately.

It's also relatively cheap PR, and maybe will get some people signed up. I am not sure it really signals much about OpenID.

Can you please expand on the comment "OpenID might one day get “upgraded” to the point where it can be used for high security/retail transactions"?
More specifically, I take that to mean as of today OpenID is not acceptable to use for high security/retail transactions.

What are the shortcomings?
