What reasons are there NOT to use OpenID?

Question

You see a fair bit (in the Geek community anyway) about OpenID. It seems like a good idea. I\'m developing a website that will be targeted at a somewhat less geeky audienc

Answer 1

It's funny for me to read this topic, it reflects exactly my experience with OpenID:

StackOverflow.com was for me the reason to get an OpenID.
Many Google searches led me to this website, and I were never able to leave comments.
I thought about registering many times, but I didn't because of OpenID. It was not clear to me what it was exactly.
But one day, I took the decision to register and it took me a while, but I don't regret it because I use it every day. It gives me a more secure feeling although I'm aware that it's only one account which would lead to many problems if it gets phished.

So for me, OpenID is a really nice way to quickly login on sites I don't know, but also on bigger websites such as StackOverflow.com
The main problem is that new users need to be pushed into the registration process then discover how great OpenID actually is.
