How to use OpenID (a screencast)
OpenID lets you log in to different sites without having to create a new username and password for each one. This screencast demonstrates OpenID in action.
If you can't view MPEG-4 movies, you can find a lower quality version of the screencast on Google Video. You can download the file (6.2 MB) from the Internet Archive.
