And that's the problem. The lack of a cross browser/device/os standard. You can't create a secure authentication chain - let alone replace passwords - without standards that are broadly accepted; without broadly accepted standards. To do otherwise means you have to train your average Jack on 4 (or more) different ways to authenticate to one service.

And the way they'll pick? Passwords. Because they know how to use passwords.
