Sure - its a few seconds here... a few seconds there... but it all adds up. Thats also assuming all goes well.. the real annoyance to me is when you forget a password. and need to reset it... then its a matter of remembering what email address its registered with... or answering a question which 10 years ago you thought you'd never forget, yet for some reason you can no longer remember your great grandmothers cats nickname... lol. also - what real value do most of these places get from forcing you to sign up before allowing you to do whatever it is youre trying to do? I mean sure, in some cases its required - but is it really neccesary *ALL* the time? I believe this method can in many cases be considered short sighted and as Ross suggests, end up more of a deterrant. anyhoo - SSO for president! :) SSO is definitely the way to go… over and above the hassle of remembering all the passwords – think of all the time saved.
