The OP seems to have joined Launchpad yesterday - and it seems that
Google is pulling out of or changing away from OpenID 2.0 to pseudo-
authentication using OAuth a.k.a. Google+ Sign-In - however it is not
clear that all OpenID parties such as this site are making any changes
https://help.launchpad.net/YourAccount/OpenID?action=show&redirect=OpenID
- I contacted the author of that page but he advised "Hello. I'm afraid
I'm no longer involved with Launchpad. Perhaps if you file a bug report
the current launchpad team will be able to help."

Wikipedia has a useful reference: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenID

tl;dr; I think that at some point in the future you won't be able to
sign-in to sites using OpenID authentication using your Google developer
identity and vice-versa you won't be able to sign into Google developer
sites using your OpenID credentials...
