Sometimes trying to make things too simple just adds complexity. A good password manager can do this without the same risk of identity theft and loss of anonymity. I think many repressive governments would love to have one central tracking option. Even if you could somehow insure that it would not be aboust you would want the ability of a local record incase of censorship or domain blocking by competing businesses.
I am unconvinced that the Internet would not work without a reasonable level of anonymity. A secure log in is not required for every website you visit as the article seems to claim.
