  Passwords are a glaring problem that really need a solution. Most people use the same password over and over, make their password too simple, don't remember their password, hate password requirements, etc etc. Passwords are a huge pain in the butt and a common security achilles heal. I think the worst is when I go to a site I rarely visit, so thus forgot my password for that site, and so try a handful of my "standard" passwords and all fail because this particular site requires at least 3 symbols in the password. My personal solution has been to use 1Password. And it does help quite a bit. But I also got a license for my fiancee and she hates it. She doesn't get it at all. If someone can truly and effectively solve the password problem, then they have my money.
