Isn't this.... pointless? I already log in once on my device, click 'save password', and I never type it in again. So "removing the login" is a solution for a problem that doesn't exist.

If anything, this post only highlights how we need more security on our mobile devices.



We also need more convenience, though, especially for low-security things like discussion forums and blog comments where the choice is often between a lousy password and a lousy password reset scheme. Your solution only works well with a convenient (no extra steps beyond "save my password") and ubiquitous (works with all major platforms, browsers, and applications) password synchronization system.
