The login problem was attempted to be solved by Mozilla's "persona", now deprecated. I like the general idea that I strongly authenticate to my browser, which can then "vouch" for me to various sites using cryptographic tokens that are otherwise useless (so no cracking/stealing passwords, etc). The devil of course would be in the details.

The devil is that the corporations able to influence this change directly benefit from current identity systems. Google for example has huge infrastructure in place linking its products together and includes tracking and other features that would only work with the current system.
