Haw. At a previous employer, in 2001, we started a project to deploy PGP to everyone. The idea was we could encrypt our work, email, send files to customers ... the boss was _keen_ on the idea. Our customers liked the idea, some of them.
We were acquired and our new owners were lukewarm to hostile about the idea and it was dropped.

I think that's the key, right there. Make it simple, easier to use than userid/password.
