Open ID

People use Internet to do banking, shopping, emailing, downloading movies etc.  Most of these sites require a user account in order to serve more functionality and better to keep track of the customer.  OpenID is a protocol, which allow single sign-in for the Internet websites.

But to what extent can Open ID provide safe and faster ways of logging into websites?
