public-key cryptography only solves computer-computer interactions. It does nothing to help me authenticate with my computer.

I always thought that the problem with openID is they didn't use email addresses instead of URLs. e.g. use [email protected] and require a certain url template for the endpoint e.g. example.com/openid/john
That way I don't have to remember another identifier and we already trust at least part of our identity to our email provider. Not perhaps as open, but much more approachable as a user.
