usernames and passwords

I just came to the sad realization that I have more different usernames than I have different passwords. Of course, as someone who likes to emphasize good security practices I probably shouldn't be telling everyone how hypocritical I am. But it gets better too. My usernames change more frequently than my passwords do.

Just thinking about the prospect of changing all of my passwords on all of the different sites and servers I use makes me shudder. So... instead of taking personal responsibility for my bad password habits, I will blame it on the whole username/password system and look forward to future authentication/authorization mechanisms that don't leave the security of servers and web sites I'm not responsible for in my hands, or at the very least, make it more transparent.
