Clickpass
Yes we have too many passwords to remember. It's a global problem. I am lost without a working password recovery function.
Essentially any frequent web user needs a single sign-on system like OpenID. However, not many sites currently support it.
A while back I saw a short piece of a video about Clickpass on hackertv and thought I should check it out.
Essentially they are building on top of OpenID technology to help sites integrate a single sign-on system on their website. They already have a few sites covered but not too many yet unfortunately. However, if you want to join their network, there is plenty of developer documentation available.
Although this is pretty cool, it seems like they are building a proprietary layer on top of OpenID. Being a massive fan of distributed web applications and open standards, this does not really appeal to me personally. However, an interesting project worth a mention indeed.

For those looking for a more intuitive OpenID login solution that does not build another layer on top of OpenID, while still allowing "single click login," check out ID Selector (www.idselector.com). Users only need to remember their account name during the first visit (not the full OpenID URL) and on subsequent visits the OpenID is pre-populated so the user just clicks to login.

Totally slacked on leaving a comment here... sorry.
Anywho I work for Vidoop and we understand the usability issue with OpenID and work (as myOpenID does) to make it better/easier.
We have a pretty neat password manager that we offer along side OpenID at http://myvidoop.com worth a look and we are always interested in feedback.
Thanks!
