If you don't have all the keys to your own home, you never know who

Along the same lines - you have to trust the OpenID server company and you
have to be sure they don't get hacked. It would be possible for the owner
of the server to know how to access every account of every user on the
system. Also, a DoS attack on the OpenID server would create mayhem.
Thanks for all the info. The more I think about OpenID, the more I wonder
why a serious professional developing a web interface for secure data on a
multimillion dollar contract would recommend it.
