Both browserid.org and myfavoritebeer.org proclaim that BrowserID spells the end of passwords.

But after clicking the first email confirmation link, I'm asked to invent a password.

I understand why this happens (though it's unclear how often I'll need to enter it, or if a password is meant to be part of the native browser implementation), but it's a bit misleading to anyone who doesn't know or care about federated auth.

A few words explaining the need for a password on my passwordless login would do wonders. :)
