One of the reasons why I prefered my own mIDm over OpenID is that my system put a token into the web browser, meaning that you never actually had to sign in. Recognition would be automatic, and if you wanted to change identities, you would just select your new identity from a drop-down. This idea still has legs, and I suspect that this is where single sign-on will eventually land. Thus we see this post, which is another attempt to try the same sort of thing. I can't wait until it's 'invented' (ie., Wired writes about it, or someone from Google or Yahoo decides to adopt it).
