David Platt devotes Chapters 3 & 4 of his book, *Why Software Sucks...And What You Can Do About It*<http://www.amazon.com/Why-Software-Sucks-What-About/dp/0321466756/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1204999335&sr=1-1>, to this very issue. His quote: "The No.1 threat of security isn't the packet sniffer...it's the Post-it Note." His proposed solution: single sign-on, managed through a reputable and trusted third party, such as a credit card company or bank (similar to Stephanie's solution). Microsoft tried the same thing with Passport awhile back, but it flopped because no one wanted their personal info being managed by Microsoft.
He also recommends this book, which he claims will scare you so bad you won't be able to sleep for weeks afterwards. Sicko that I am, I can't wait to check it out.
