1. Facebook connect.
Remember that Facebook only knows what you tell it. You could always make an account with only required fields filled out, NEVER use it as intended (set all the security/privacy to the highest and don't every friend anyone, join any groups, or "like" anything), and just use that as your SSO solution.
Or if you simply refuse to use Facebook at all:
2. Lastpass. Can't say enough about these guys. It is FREE and just works.

You basically described the RIM/Blackberry use case; why not use them? The Bold 9900 is actually a nice phone.
Submission + - How Ford Sync could change the tech industry (extremetech.com)
An anonymous reader writes: When you think “cutting edge technology,” chances are you don’t think of the automotive industry. Until quite recently, the center stack in most vehicles had scarcely changed in 20 years, but that's not the case any more. Ford is rethinking auto tech and could become a centralizing force in the technology industry. The company has emphasized that shipping with proper device support isn’t just about providing better service, it helps drive the use of hands-free and voice recognition technology that promotes safer driving and less-distracted drivers. Pressure like this could be one reason carriers start to clean up their act when it comes to mobile OS upgrades.

The drones at most of these stores don't care; I should know I use to be one and I was the "odd man out" that would notice these things and say something. A lot of times as a cashier speed (items per hour) matters more than accuracy. Your bonus can depend on it, so doing any kind of "checks" hurts a lot.
