Maybe this is a bit off-topic, but the *real* answer to the question
"why-is-nobody-using-ssl-client-certificates" is that it would force
www pages to be encrypted and would make it a lot more difficult for
NSA to log www-trafic. So they have been made not-user-friendly by
default.

But what you think about this:
"White paper on passwordless secure login (based on bitcoin/bitmessage
