I actually think electronic wallets and such are the best compromise.
Not perfect. But the user needs only one password and the rest of
security is up to people who have resources to put into security. Of
course the downside if someone compromises user security they get
everything for that user, and if someone compromises central storage
security they everything for hundreds of thousands or millions of
users plus probably additional stuff for a bunch of vendors as well.
But I suspect still the best compromise available to an individual who
wants have internet access to financial accounts.
