What's missing? A pretty UI for the users. Apple, Mozilla, W3C, Microsoft IE developers and so on need to get their butts in gear and make a pretty UI to create personal key material, send the public key as part of a sign up form, import a key, and so on.Yes, but you're securing the account to the *client PC* there, not to the human being; making that Portable Enough for people who use and borrow multiple machines is nontrivial.
