Well, duh. I don't like all the "login optimization" work that's been done lately. A user name and a password have always served me well. On non-sensitive sites

Well, duh. I don't like all the "login optimization" work that's been done lately. A user name and a password have always served me well. On non-sensitive sites cookies have enabled me to automatically log in whilst the cookies are stored on the computer which is - of course - protected against outside abuse.
I know people are seeing this whole login thing as a UX issue but I don't think so. All solutions so far are just exchanging the user/pass combination stored in your head with identifying some device like a smartphone.
I won't go away from the classic setup until we get key based login using biometric data as a passphrase. Signing up automatically transfers your public key and login is reduced to a "please swipe your finger over <insert input device here>".
