But then a breach in your OpenID account would mean access to every other site right?

However I do agree it would make it a little more secure than using one password at every site. However for smaller sites that I care less about, I generally use a special password anyways, and it seems it's really smaller, less ambitious sites are the ones that will adopt OpenID anyways. I don't think Yahoo, Google, or Facebook will start taking OpenID logins any time soon right?

A breach in your OpenID account is the same security risk as a breach in your email account, if the sites do account recovery via email.
