I use client certs to authenticated with MyOpenID. I solve this problem
by having a separate cert to each device. That way I can revoke a cert
if one of my devices gets "compromised", as I did for my work PC when I
left my previous employer, and as I would do if I lost my laptop.

Actually this is a very good practice!<br>

Of course, I issue these certs in the first place by going to MyOpenID
and logging in with a password. I'm sure there's a way to use one
already-certed client to obtain a cert for another, but I don't know
how to do with my browser's UI, which seems to be all about
automatically installing certs into itself.

Look at <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://eddyn.startssl.com/?app=12">https://eddyn.startssl.com/?app=12</a> on how this can be handled
without passwords AT ALL.<br>

(The browser on my cellphone doesn't support SSL client certs, sadly.)

Mozilla's mobile browser will...hope it will install at your cellphone
one day.<br>
