Michel, many thanks for taking the time to carefully articulate your perspective on this.

Unfortunately, the flip side of being more experienced within a certain technical domain (e.g., Linux) can sometimes make it more difficult to anticipate how people with different background will view things. We try, but there's really no replacement for users sharing their experience with us.

I like the idea of setting one universal password through the Hub as I can't really think of a good reason different passwords for each application would be advantageous to the average user. I think we should only ask users to set separate passwords if one password is going to be transmitted in the clear (I.e., without encryption).

It's late over here so I might be missing something though. We'll want to explore the implications in more depth when we get back to this.
