Hi, Yeah I did a lot of testing the past few days with OpenID. Seems like it could work fine, just depends on how your user base will react to it. For my userbase, I'm a bit worried that they might be confused and or terrified if I redirect them to their gmail page / popup asking for their gmail credentials.
The bigger problem for me is that I am using GWT to make the web-app portion of a larger app, which can also be accessed from iPhone/ Android/BB thick-clients. In those cases, I cannot use OpenID, and would hate to support more than one login system. For example, my web clients would use OpenID, Android/iPhone/BB clients would sign up using an old-style new username/password system. Maintaining that would be kind of annoying I think.
