I understand the attractiveness of not having to remember lots of IDsand passwords, but when you give up control of your data, you give up control of your future. Normal people aren't going to remember enough passwords, let alone strong passwords, to make that control meaningful. I do get your point, but I bet that the best alternative is to give them one set of credentials and make it as strong as possible.
PasswordSafe/KeePass on a PDA, or something similar, can make up for poor memory. Kurt _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it. Charter: http://lists.grok.org.uk/full-disclosure-charter.html Hosted and sponsored by Secunia - http://secunia.com/
