OpenID, OAuth, and the like have just made things more confusing for both devs and users alike, IMHO. Wasn't it supposed to "unify" things and make it easier and safer for everyone? For example: - a site might offer to login via Facebook, but I'm afraid to in case my friends' Facebook news feeds get spammed. - I want to offer an easy login for my users, but which OAuth provider do I pick? Which OAuth, OpenId thing am I supposed to use? They all look the same! But different!
