Get rid of ATM pin codes, too. All you should need is the card. And the same card for all your bank accounts! Anything that requires physical access to a car

Anything that requires physical access to a card or usb stick or a specific computer to do things on the web is a non-starter.
Given this constraint, passwords work fine. The problem boils down to the completely unavoidable security vs. ease of use trade-off. I say just get rid of the complexity requirements. If someone wants to enter a blank password for all their needs, let them. I personally will keep track of my varied and complex passwords.
- maxklein 18y agoI don't really need to have a USB stick to use this system, as it is just software. In emergency situations, I can ask another site to act at the USB stick, and then type in my pin code there. So it's still secure, as people do not know my pin code. Sure, keep using your passwords, my grandpa also loves using his walkie talkie.

- maxklein 18y agoThat's not Open ID, because this is just a backup solution, and is not the main authentification scheme.
