You can login if you already have an account or register by clicking the button below.
Registering is free and all you need is a username and password. We never ask you for your e-mail.
Certificates are a form of password and I don't think they will go away, ever. And before you can get yourself a certificate to some server, you will first have to enter some credentials. So there's a server farm with 500 servers and you need to connect to server 237. How else are you going to do this if not by entering a password and then getting yourself a certificate?
And normal websites don't even make use of the awesomeness that are certificates, because that's a lot of extra effort on the side of the webmaster.

I'm not convinced that it is at all possible to avoid using passwords going forward.

It will take a while, but passwords will be rarely used soon
