A digital skeleton key to access any website

OpenID is still a thing (its hard to kill a protocol). While most OpenID providers have gone away, indieauth.com will allow you to delegate your domain name to it.

  <link rel="openid.server" href="https://indieauth.com/openid" />
  <link rel="openid.delegate" href="http://mynamedomain.com/" />

...and you can easily be your own provider. The main issue is that pretty much nobody supports it now, I haven't seen a 'Login with OpenID' button for a while.

OpenID has gone the same way as XMPP, a good open and decentralised protocol lost to proprietary social networks.

I agree its mostly gone. Here are the sites I can think of that still support OpenID login:

https://stackexchange.com/users/login https://bitbucket.org/account/signin/ http://openid.yahoo.com/ still responds, surprisingly. The wordpress openid plugin is still around.
