Because the password is used to encrypt the private key.  You have to enter it (on the RPC console with "bitcoind walletpassphrase YOURPASSWORD UNLOCK-HOW-LONG") before performing any commands that need a private key so the key can be decrypted again.
Use your Namecoin identity as OpenID: https://nameid.org/
