When your OpenID provider crashes

Today, I installed Windows 7 RTM. Trying to login to StackOverflow, I found that Verisign’s login portal crashed.

This locked me out of all my OpenID enabled websites (effectively, the StackOverflow trilogy). Luckily, my OpenID is really my blog’s URL, just delegated to Verisign. After spending a good fifteen minutes just finding where to disable the delegation, I finally found and disabled it, regaining the ability to log on.
