I see your concern and that is why technologies like oAuth and OpenId are so important. They allow you to have a single identity, a single account and use it to authenticate yourself safely in any site without having to register for it. For instance, if you have a flickr account, you can use it as an OpenId. By using a similar method to the one by which you allow apps to access your flickr account (possibly with restricted permissions) you can authorize and put limits to sites willing to use your flickr openId to authenticate. You don't have to register and you don't have to upload your password. And the day you want to revoke permissions, go to the Id Provider (flickr in this example) and revoke them. Bam, they're locked out. @Bitstar – I hear you. I see your concern and that is why technologies like oAuth and OpenId are so important.

You don’t have to register and you don’t have to upload your password. And the day you want to revoke permissions, go to the Id Provider (flickr in this example) and revoke them. Bam, they’re locked out.

If the applications wants to gather behavioral data about me that can be used to improve my experience they can do so by the use of cookies. Most of the times when I see web site requiring registration I walk away! (that of course if I'm not really interested in getting to the content). Not only I don't want to waste my time registering and waiting for a confirmation email but I'm not about to give my password to every site out there.
