How do I switch to using Facebook instead of OpenID while signing in to StackExchange without changing my username?
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.
