Hi Paul. RPXNow.com doesn't outsource account management. You still have to store "User" records with all of the fields needed for your application. RPXNow.com outsources authentication. From a user's perspective, it means that they don't have to go through the "register/ confirm email/login" cycle, and the "forgot password/email/login" cycle. I find that very convenient.
Janrain also has a product called OPX (http://www.janrain.com/products/ opx) if you want to issue openids.
