Actually, 1Password, a Mac-only app (I think) that I use reminded me of this. For the unaware, the app basically plugs in to your browser and with a "master password" recalls all your logins. I basically go to a webpage, hit the 1p button and I'm golden. If it's the start of a session, I'm asked to enter my master password and that's about it. Obviously the service doesn't have any control of this, and I am reliant on 1password's security and the security of my password, but it's convenient. I can't see email being the only login because I'd be worried of giving my email password to anybody.

There's a similar plugin for Firefox that accepts a "master password" salts, randomizes, hashes, performs magic, and submits that as the actual password to your service. The end result is all of your accounts have a different and secure password, whereas you (the end user) only work with the single password. I've been thinking of giving this a shot but just keep putting it off for various reasons (the long time commitment of resetting all of my passwords to the newer/safer credentials, what if I am on a machine w/o Firefox or the plugin, etc).
