The only thing I could think would need a change to the OpenID spec.

Along with the user’s OpenID would be sent some random (but consistent) secret. Each user would get a different value.

Then that secret could be used to index the user’s private data in the database.

Not sure there’s much chance in getting that accepted though.

There really needs to be some secret that is not stored on the server-side in order for this to work, so it's not a great fit for things like OpenID or OAuth. You could ask the user to create a secondary password, although that kind of defeats the purpose of OpenID. You could set a cookie with a generated secret when the user first signs up, but that's going to stop working if the user changes browsers or clears their cookies. You could also send that secret to them via email, telling them that they'll need it should they use another browser or clear their cookies, but that's still not very user-friendly. This might make for a good follow-up post. If you have any ideas on it, let me know. Good question, David.

Got any ideas for when I don't have anything that only the user knows? I'm authenticating using OpenID, so I only get the user's OpenID - no password or anything only known to the user (the OpenID is by its nature public). Nice article.
