Hi Lidia
The behaviour that you see is normal for current Plone installations.
You may be interested in an add-on product for Plone,
iw.memberreplace <http://plone.org/products/iw-memberreplace>
The warning concerning alphaware is balanced by an observation at

Looking ahead, two feature requests:
<http://dev.plone.org/plone/ticket/8494> (new)
> merge two or more Plone accounts
<http://dev.plone.org/plone/ticket/7303> (assigned)

<https://dev.plone.org/plone/query?status=new&status=assigned&status=reopened&component=OpenID+support&order=priority>
presents a list of OpenID-related tickets.
