paypal and your bank are unlikely subscribers to this potential
standard. You will notice that neither one allows your browzer to store
a password for them. They also time out; expire logins. That's how
concerned they are with authenticity; not even someone else from your
home. I do not really see how an open login system can *increase*
security. However much you use the math, if you are effectively logged
into all of the servers you ever used at once, then the openness of
your computer (say if it is on, and you head out for soda without
logging out) is an authenticity threat. You do not want to explain
someone else's actions to admins on wikipedia: You will be lucky if
they believe you.
