I thought of that too, and it would not be preferable to have shared logins, or an automated system in place for registering on e-commerce sites, or sites where money is moving in them. One could argue that a large portion of websites have money moving through them in one form or another, but I don't have the numbers / stats for that. This would be more for general purpose sites that have wall-gardened information, and also for sites that have arbitrary registration forms which exist for all the reasons (or lack of reasons) I outlined in my post.

Fair enough. Maybe some examples would help me understand. I do get that registration can be a pain. But what I'd want wouldn't be a skeleton key, but rather a personal master key. Logins using Facebook and Google have become common. But, being a privacy geek, I don't have accounts. And I definitely don't do cellphone authentication, because that is nontrivial to anonymize. However, I would want two-factor authentication. That's the tough problem, I think.
