I agree. BrowserID is a good authentication solution.

It's not a solution to the problem we're talking about though, I'm complaining about a lack of solutions for easy credential management.

Once everyone implements it then sure, you only need to remember your email password. Unless you have multiple personas, then you'll have a bunch of passwords. And realistically there will be a lot of sites that have different systems or antiquated username/password forms.

So aren't we back were we started? I need a password manager and I'd like my browser to be aware of my password manager and help mediate. BrowserID would be a great place for it to send the appropriate password for sure.
