From a dev's point of view I really feel that OpenID/OAuth is absolutely not worth the headache.

I'd rather just go the hacker news model. Choose a strong password and if you forget it, we send a new one to your email address.

Works fine, offloads a lot of security issues to email providers (who tend to be good at it), easy to code.

I use Hacker News with OpenID ;)

I like the same model. (send password change token to email). BrowserID from Mozilla may help here too.
