Elsewhere today there was a thread mentioning StarSSL. They take an
interesting approach to site security. They don't use passwords. As part
of the process of getting your SSL certificate, they generate a
client-side SSL certificate that you install in your browser.

Now I have to trust that my browser will keep that file securely. Steal that file and you are in. It doesn't solve the problem, but shifts it to a little used feature browser that is likely little audited for security and might be full of holes.
