Hi John,

The thing of it is, most sites that make you remember a username and password really don't need to! Usually, they really only need to know two things about you:

1. That you’re the same person you were the last time you showed up at that site, and
2. That you have certain preferences, like your interests, the feeds you read, the area of the world you live in, etc.

At PrefPass, we're trying to help solve this problem by providing an easy to use system that replaces this kind of user/password relationship with a single click. We're in limited beta right now, so feel free to sign up for an invite at prefpass.com!

Just because in 11,000 people choose the “forgotten password” link, doesn’t mean that there are 11,000 people who for the password. the whole reason that you considered getting rid of it was for security concerns, and I think this proves it

I’m a big fan of “anypassword”. It’s handy for keeping all those pesky pw’s. Sounds like keepass is pretty similar.

Passwords are a terrible (but unfortunately ubiquitous) way of securing information. I was reading a book about Alzheimers recently which pointed out that in the past (ie pre-paper and universal literacy) people had to be much better at remembering things. One of the methods that was used was to imagine items scattered around a room in various places (eg in the fireplace, on a chair etc). I’d have thought that someone who could build this kind of cultural/visual mnemonic into a browser would be onto a winner.
