Hmm; I wish I could make a negative vote on this since this wish really is bogus.  If \
users want this I suggest they use a post-it-note for their master password and put \
it on the monitor. Allowing a no-password storage of all data which allows anyone \
else to post email as you, post in online forums as you and post bank-transfers as \
you is not to be underestimated.   Think about it; your little-sister thinks its nice \
to post silly stories on that news-site you are are always on.  You loose all \
credibility there and have no way to convince people you were not you.

Also consider that electronic passwords and identities stay around for decades.  Sign \
up for a slashdot account, not try to remove that account; almost no online services \
allow you to remove an account.  Years after you die all your posts will still be \
online and readable for the world.

I have no good words for anyone that cares soo little about security and privacy that \
they actually want to vote for this wish.
