Except having a password store on one's computer that's separate from the browser. There are several pieces of software that do this.

If that's integrated with the browser, sure. However if it's not, it's too complicated. Opening a separate app, typing in its password, then copying and pasting the username and password into the browser is too much trouble.

Even Bruce Schneier, inventor of PasswordSafe among other things, stores his passwords on a little piece of paper in his wallet!

I reiterate: browser-based password stores are the most secure solution yet devised.
