We have a unique opportunity with phishing and OpenID. OpenID can make the possibility for bad things to happen from phishing that much worse. However, having an OpenID means you create a more intimate relationship with your OpenID provider. You go there everyday. You will more likely know when something is wrong.

I can also sum things up for you even more succinctly:

• users are task oriented, driving to complete the goal the
  quickest way possible
• users pay more attention to the content area than the browser chrome
• users don't understand how easy it is to spoof a website
