I like to keep a list of my accounts on the web and OpenID would automate this task for me, if it weren't for the fact that most websites where I maintain an account do not support OpenID or do not make full use of OpenD (i.e. they link an OpenID URL to a traditional email/username and password based account account).
As most websites that do support it — that I use — require a traditional email/username and password based account and I've yet to encounter a website that required me to have OpenID to make full use of functionality, to me, an OpenID account is the extra account I have to keep track of.
Interestingly, Wildbit removed support for OpenID in Beanstalk earlier this year. (http://wildbit.com/blog/2009/05/26/what-happened-to-openid-support-in-beanstalk/ http://wildbit.com/blog/2009/05/26/what-happened-to-openid-s...)
