Well ...And im so going to anger the privacy advocates here...
Maybe we can create a token system. I want to sign up for a service at say, ZDNet, WELL I proceed with my sign up...however, I also have to insert a token into my computer (that through a special ACTIVX, java, or some other plugin looks at) and verifies my identity. No token..no verificaiton..no sign up.

the hitch? Actually signing up for this...perhaps a known and trusted company like verisign, offer up this USB token for a cost of eh $10 bucks..BUT to get it...you have to scan a copy of a federal/state issued ID plus the credit card address for the credit card that is used to purchase it would have to be the same as the shipping address. Cumbersome? Yes. Time consuming? maybe. but overall I think this could even evolve to where this could also be in tandem with online banking.
