This revisits a suggestion from 2006: http://community.livejournal.com/suggestions/595984.html

I thought we had the OpenID option here already... Or does it not work the way that's being suggested?

[azurelunatic]

Doesn't work in that way.
You can, currently, create a separate OpenID account from any website of yours that is an OpenID provider. (Like from DW, Yahoo, IJ.)
You cannot link that OpenID account up to your native LJ account, to prove that you're the same person across sites.
You especially cannot link that OpenID account up to your native LJ account and use the OpenID to log in, in place of a password. And that last is what this suggestion wants.

Thanks for clarifying. (I personally don't use OpenID, so I had no clue...)
