OpenID 2.0 Finally Launched

[marulez]

The open identity system OpenID 2.0 was launched today at the Internet Identity Workshop in Mountain View, after what Marshall Kirkpatrick recently described as "a long, long time of political infighting over either semi-relevant minutea or deal-breaking technical details." The new version improves security and usability -- and will hopefully be the catalyst for more Internet companies to adopt it.

According to the announcement, more than 8,000 Web sites currently accept OpenID and this figure is growing by five percent per week - although Marshall mentioned in his post that this figure is down from 7% in February. But support for OpenID is gradually growing; just last week Google Blogger unveiled support in the next version of Blogger. A number of Internet companies, such as digg, have promised to implement OpenID once 2.0 arrived.

I dont get it. OpenID wants to remove the password from the loop ??
So if someone knows my OpenID url , they can login without any password ? How is that helpful ?
