For TS we're trying to decide how to make sign-up dead simple. Since we want to support alerts and such, we'd like to simply use an e-mail/pw combo so that you only have to fill out 3 fields when you sign up (email/pw/pw confirm).

Do you have a better suggestion? Should we just specify why we ask for e-mail?

Maybe it's not high if people are buying something; they may expect to give an email in that situation. But you can A/B test to see exactly how many you're losing by asking for emails.
