So, in a nutshell, you trust ClickPass security less than you trust your email provider's security. And, the margin is great enough to overcome whatever ease-of-use gains you might get from ClickPass over email. Did I get that right?

Partially. There are attacks that specifically target me and there are attacks that are going after anyone with login credentials. The issue with ClickPass is that it wants to be choke full of latter guys. This makes it a fat and juicy target for someone looking to grab any credentials. The question of my trust in my email provider here is secondary. It is only relevant if I am personally the ultimate target. See the difference ? The bottom line is that they want to manage my confidential information. This is very ballsy of them and it comes with a LOT of responsibility whether they realize it or not. Or, perhaps, they want to deal with passwords that are OK to be compromised. In former case they (currently) lack credibility, in latter case they misrepresent what their service is about. Hence my original comment.
