* OpenID. Fixes the extra password problem, but doesn't give us any extra information about the user (email address, etc).
This is a popular misconception. As was noted on this thread, many OpenID provideers may provide you an email or other information if you asked for it and user had supplied it. But even if not, nothing actually prevents you from *just asking the user* for the email if you need it. See stackoverflow for an example when you authenticate yourself and then can supply more information about yourself. These things are simply unrelated. -- Roman I.
