I also think OpenID solves a very important problem and think that someday everyone will support it (or its successor, whatever that may be). It will take time, however, as everyone needs to cooperate and that's not easy. Just look at spam; it is technically an easy problem to solve, but requires cooperation. Yahoo's DomainKeys Identified Mail (DKIM) solution took 3 years to become a *proposal* :) Re: accessing your passwords while on the road, the Sync to iPhone feature in 1Password will help a lot. Also, the upcoming my1Password web service will let you access your passwords from any modern web browser and an Internet connection.
