I think it's amazing that there are so many security conscious people that are very sensitive about passwords and storing them as plaintext is worse then hitler, but nobody questions how we're still stuck with plain shared secrets for authentication in 2015. If the concept of passwords wasn't so fundamentally broken a password leak wouldn't be an issue, not even if it's plaintext. "Oh no, my shared secret for this site got compromised and now all my accounts are compromised because I authenticate to 50+ other sites with the same secret." This is like putting your only private key on every service and complaining if bad things happen.
