I’m with you. But I suppose it is from being comfortable with the ways of Bitcoin. Obviously the hard part with this for Joe Mainstream is making sure they don’t lose their credentials, and keeping them secure (and maybe just adjusting to a new paradigm). IMO hardware wallets were a huge step in that regard. Going back to a the old standby of making up, remembering, and typing in a (probably fairly weak) password feels like a big step backwards in security, and arguably usability. As a next gen redesign of the web, I feel SAFE should aim for greater security than what this login method provides.
Obviously I’m not advocating that users should have to buy a hardware device to access the network, just that it should be possible, at least in the future, to access the network in this way.
