In common with most sites, we were keen to offer an OpenID login option when we started out, to ease the burden of juggling yet another username and password. Unfortunately, also in common with other sites, we found that OpenID created as many problems as it solved. In fact, we never even fully deployed OpenID - we used it instead as a password replacement for existing accounts.
We feel that the amount of work involved in keeping our code functioning with OpenID and in supporting users with it outweighs the amount of added value it brings to our users, and we’re in the process of phasing out OpenID logins for accounts altogether. You can read more about the decision at the news post.
