Passwords and Security (cont)

And just like that here we have it
https://browserid.org/
an attempt by Mozilla at unifying your login.  This is exactly whats needed.  One login for all sites, cue Lord of the Rings reference.
There are many sites like banking sites that may not work with this straight away, especially as my bank likes me to change my password every 2 minutes. see previous post.
But with initiatives like this I can see things moving in the right direction.
Google goes a long way towards this, once you are signed in to Gmail you are signed in to all Google products. However that is limiting in that you may want to use something other than Google on the web.

Safe surfing...
