I guess it would certainly solve a lot of issues. I like the fact, where you said, " it is difficult (and frustrating) enough to remember all the usernames and passwords of all the different services and gadgets we use"
this is so true. Every other day, I have to change my password. Not that I have to do it as I want to change but I forget the password :P. Then, reset password drama for another few mins. Oh gosh.
If a gadget can scan my retina and I'm done with it. It would be super cool.
I'm sure, we are heading towards that but it just when

You don't actually want that. It's pretty much the most insecure system ever. Better to have a hardware key, and a strong password protecting all your passes.
But, we have to have a hardware that can support all the platform. From banking to social media.
I do... u2f for 2FA, and a password vault protected by hardware, and the hardware to sign into ssh using an RSA key.
2FA does secure a bit. I use it for almost every required application now.
I haven't checked the hardware key, except VPN token.
2FA is totally not good, since it's very easy to spoof. U2F is far superior, though not perfect. Security is always layers.
so, you use the vault for almost everything? which one do you use for hardware key?
I have a Digital Bitbox bitcoin wallet, which is a killer U2F as well. It can be used as an RSA key as well pretty sure. For my high security servers I use encryption keys from my keepkey wallet.
I also have a fidesmo card which is an NFC secure card for my cell phone to protect my Google Authenticator and password manager on mobile when I need to use it.
I think Trezor is working on this.
Yeah, I have been through a lot of this drama and keep going through it regularly. I just wish there was a secure way of handling biometrics so that we can all live our lives more peacefully!
