All the comments below (ha I hope!) are arguing for Mozilla persona
* I want to use email as username
* limit the number of possible ways to login (no NASCAR)
* I want to keep personal and business logins seperate
* don't slap competitor logos all over my pages (CEO quite right there)
this however all begs the question how do I move accounts to a new login?
Few sites (stackoverflow is a shining exception) allow you to associate more than one login with one account. And fewer give different settings by login (admin, power user etc)
we have been lulled by oauth and openid into thinking we have just to authenticate me, rather than authorise a role - and few sites have concepts ofanything other than one role == one set of privileges == one login.
There is a reckoning coming - it is when these sites need to provide fine grained control, as businesses run on them full time, we shall discover why ACLs exist, and what chmod is for. It's going to be painful. But then it's better for mailchimp to take the pain in a couple of years than not be there at all
now go install persona. And allow me to associate more than one login with one account
