What are Some OpenID Alternatives

I am trying to integrate OpenID into my website but I am discovering OpenID website is still buggy. Does anyone know a good alternative.

i'm assuming you're asking for alternatives to a specific provider? check out the logins section of SO itself to see the various players out there.

OAuth is not the same as OpenID

OAuth isn't really a replacement for OpenID. OpenID is Identity management, letting you have a single login credential for multiple websites. OAuth is a method for you to authorize other services, like a twitter desktop client, to access your twitter data.

their site has some issues. I understand the difference between OpenId and OAuth but I think he may benefit from looking at OAuth implementation

Depends upon what you are trying to achieve, but if you mean providing easy login access for your site you could try facebook connect.
