I think it's actually a pretty good idea.

If your goal is to scam clueless people, of course.

New YCombinator startup idea!

Passwords are hard to remember. I can create a service to store their userIds, passwords and sites. That way people have to only go one place to get them. I'll call it a "personal ID agregator" during my VC pitches.

I could make all the data public and accessible from anywhere using a simple API.

Users could vote on which passwords are the strongest. The wisdom of crowds would lead us to the better security!

Man I need a cup of coffee to get going on this. No, wait, I've had 6 cups already...
