I was under the impression that the open id for a user remains constant.

I am allowing users to setup open id with my site with 2 different screens in my app...

I was under the impression that the open id for a user is constant and will not change and I was planning to save it to my database for a given user,

However, to my suprise, I found different ids for the same user using the same google account in the two different screens.

How does open id actually work ?
