I also felt login process should be simplified. I got two types of registration forms at my new website (www.survenator.com) - one is express where user only enters their email address and a highly secured password is email to them. Other is the complete registration form. Although the form is still kept very short. Users can change their passwords\other account information anytime.

Express registration may work for well for those who have hard time coming up with strong passwords or don't want to think about a password while doing another new registration. We started this feature as an experiment and will evolve\refine it based upon the usage.

Once the user confirms their account if they selected "remember me" checkbox then we don't require them to login, we just check for authentication cookie.

I do not agree with the author regarding his vision for "password reset tool feature to send the link in the email". Sometimes users want to take control of their password and do not want to remembered for security reasons.
