Alternative?

Works now :).

Do the same thing banks do, and ecommerce sites do, and every other site that is concerned about security does... maintain their own user id and password facilities separate from all other such facilities in the world. That allows security-concious users maintain separate passwords for every site. Other people can still use the same password for everything, of course :)

Doesn't appear to work for everyone yet though... we're still investigating.

Well, I would say there is no silver bullet to rule them all. The password maintenance is a dirty thing. Here is one of the examples (The seller is offering 640,000 PlayStation accounts for USD 35.71). E.g. another interesting concept is how slack.com is working - everything is bound to your email. Why should one remember passwords, since everything he needs is to confirm the identity and slack offers this with ease.

And of course, you don't need to read my reply if you have already read about + and - what OpenID provides (that is why I put this link at the end of the comment): What are the advantages and disadvantages to using OpenID?

Thanks!

Oh! I forgot to add... OAuth is also worth trying it :)
