No-password access can be pretty good for enterprise but just not realistic for consumers (yet). This humorous take on it actually does a pretty good job of explaining the user-experience reasons.


Just so we're clear, there are great security advantages to using private keys for authentication. I always use a key for SSH!

But nothing so far is easier for my grandmother to use than a password that is the date of her wedding.
