| Aug 13, 2011 at 9:34 | comment | added | Gazzer | I agree. The term openid for adding a email/password combo doesn't make sense. It should say 'Change credentials'. Even after reading the above it took me a while because I knew I didn't want an openid, so I clicked 'edit' which didn't have the correct options. In the end I set up another account from scratch on another SO site and used the copy credentials option. | |

| Jul 3, 2011 at 5:11 | comment | added | aalaap | The problem here is the use of the term 'OpenID' as a general, any kind of authentication system. Granted, Facebook does support the OpenID system, but Facebook Connect isn't OpenID, and that's what threw me off. | |
| Jul 3, 2011 at 5:07 | comment | added | nhinkle Mod | Good feedback. To be fair though, you could have added a second OpenID and just stopped using the old one, but had it for backup. Still would have solved your problem. | |

| Jul 3, 2011 at 5:06 | comment | added | aalaap | I've been staring at that link for months and I just never clicked it, because it's misleading. I didn't want to add another OpenID, so I never even thought of clicking on it. I really wish that link gets changed to "Add account" or "Add new provider" or something a little general. | |
