True, I personally think you're better off with a wallet/passwordsafe
application that you use a few passwords to help you remember dozens
of others inside of. A users OpenID password increases it's "value"
with each site that is added. Phishing/CSRF/XSS/MitM are all factors
that have and still affect such "services". A second factor can be
added to OpenID like services, sms challenge or OTP type things, but
you might as well have a unique login and password in a wallet that is
in your control. I don't trust any "cloud" service with anything
really valuable :)
