On: Why is nobody using SSL Client Certificates?

[_pghu]

Probably because people want to be able to change browsers/computers without the bullshit of transferring around an SSL cert and doing so in a secure fashion?

Now that Firefox, Chrome and Safari all sync through various cloud accounts, is that really still an issue?

And how do you log in on that cloud account? Hen and chicken...

Not a problem as long as you only have a fixed number of machines to use but once you start using other machines, family/friends/school/work/library you need a secure way to access the certs.

egg and chicken of course :P

Given that a good 50% or so use IE, yes?

I believe Windows 8 has this built in, but doesn't have a critical mass yet.
