The main benefit to users is that they can have a single password that they can use on many websites. This means they can easily update their single password from a centralized location, rather than having to change dozens of passwords individually.

Because OpenID cannot guarantee a user is legitimate, email verification is still necessary. When logging in, users are presented with the option of entering their OpenID URL, which will look like <em>myusername.openidprovider.com</em>. The site then communicates with the OpenID server, asking it to verify the identity of the user. If the user is logged into their OpenID server, the server communicates back to your site, verifying the user. If they are not logged in, the OpenID server will ask the user for their password. At no point does the site being logged into record the user's OpenID password.") . '</dd>';
