This is one of those cases where I completely forgot that I had an account, and now it has been compromised. I'm scratching my head wondering what information/password I had associated with it.

Makes a case for actively destroying accounts on services that you're no longer planning on using.

Or not sharing passwords between services.

Preferably both. Not sharing passwords is the obvious one, but if I stop using something I'd like to be able to delete everything related to me (except perhaps logfiles or whatever else needs to be retained for operational reasons up to a few weeks). And without having to call someone on the phone please or email support@ please.

Or getting rid of passwords as a mechanism entirely.

Not that I have a solution, just whining :)

Mozilla Persona, I will suggest.

You're right, though I don't share passwords between services, I'm curious just the same.
