None of the systems I mentioned (TLS-PSK, SRP, PwdHash) has this
problem--provided that the user actually uses the new authentication

As I wrote, the problem is in both places. For one thing, TLS-PSK, SRP, and PwdHash all have the problem that they require some sort of secure interface on what is generally an insecure platform. What is needed is a way to modularize and isolate those authentication transactions. Sam claims it can be done in software - fine. What is the communication path to and from? What's the architecture?
