Q: What is OpenID?
A: OpenID is a system that allows you to use a single login for a variety of different websites. OpenID works by allowing you to select a provider that you already have an account with, such as Google, AOL, or Yahoo. Login is transferred to the selected provider. The provider verifies your login information and control is transferred back to ARMSLIST.

Q: Why use OpenID?
A: It seems that every website requires you to create an account. You end up with tons of usernames and passwords that you have to try to remember. OpenID allows you to reuse these logins in a secure way. Basically, it's simpler.
