OpenID is extremely easy to compromise so I wouldn't advise its use.  
I'd separate the account's. You could easily implement something on  
the server that would create/modify/delete an account on one system  
and replicate on the other. I think most users have browsers which  
manage their passwords so logging in twice is unlikely to be a real  
problem for users.
