It is now possible to log in with OpenID, automatically creating an account, and to associate an existing account with an OpenID for future logins.

Personally, I suggest MyOpenID (from JanRain) because it gives the option of using PhoneFactor’s phone-call-based 2-factor authentication.

Edit: actually, OpenID login now seems to be entirely broken.  Hmm…
