VeriSign Personal Identity Portal (PIP) is now fairly interesting for secure site logins since Verisign released their iPhone VIP Access 1-time use token app. Really nice not to carry a physical token around (I already carry two).
They support OpenID as well as most major website using PIP One-Click login (banks, craigslist, Amazon, eBay, Facebook, etc). The have a PIP One-Click bookmarklet that enables you to just 1-Click to login when at a registered site.
This is particularly useful as a traveler who sometimes has to use a suspicious machine...now I don't have to enter my password for more sites, just one password that is paired with a 1-time use credential to avoid compromise.
VeriSign's entire business is around security and trust so they are one of the very few companies I might consider trusting my credentials with.

Hmmm, I have a VeriSign token for Schwab...tried to register with VeriSign PIP (https://pip.verisignlabs.com/) to use as a secure OpenID provider but it didn't work.
While I generally haven't cared much about OpenID due to the lack of actual sites using OpenID (as opposed to being providers). I suspect this is because few real sites are actually willing to trust another site with identity.
That said, would be really awesome to have a RSA/VeriSign secure token based login where I could carry around a single token. Sure would be great for logging in on insecure machines when traveling.
