Even better and clearer I think. Then maybe have a link: "Don't have an account at any of these sites? Signup for a blah.com account" @Mark – you’re absolutely right. Even better and clearer I think. Then maybe have a link: “Don’t have an account at any of these sites? Signup for a blah.com account”

The "username" field is common to both. Add "blah.com" to the list of sites, and when selected use a bit of scripting to enable (or make visible) the password field. When any other site is selected, disable (or make invisible) the password field. Why not integrate the two forms?

If I'm just starting out a site... I wouldn't add the ability to create a new account just for that site. However, it makes sense that medium-large sites (or sites with a corporate bent) would allow you to create an account just for that site. They should be "good citizens" and become openID providers as well. Many sites allow you to use an email format for OpenID - which is awesome... I always use my <username>@yahoo.com instead of my obscure yahoo openID url.</username> @David – I totally agree.

Saw your post on the Yahoo site and wandered over... I really like your idea of presenting the user with a number of OpenID providers, so that maybe they "get it"... Please see my comment on the Yahoo dev blog, too, about the providers also providing a translation from their existing authentication credentials (username / email address) to their own crazy OpenID URLs as a method of easing the transition. And I do believe it to be a transition: leaving the old username and password credential model firmly in the past. Not to sound like an authority, but the ultimate goal behind OpenID (particularly coupled with OAuth) is that I don't _need_ an account with blah.com at all. In fact, if I was creating blah.com as an OpenID RP, I wouldn't even offer the user an option to create an account, just an OpenID login. That's me, though... ;) Hey, topper.
