There's technically no reason why this can't be implemented, but 
I'm having a hard time coming up with reasons why people would 
want that, considering:

1) There is little-to-no information stored in users' accounts 
worth stealing
2) Consequentially, registering a new account only means losing 
your settings and read post history
3) You can use any password, or even no password at all
4) There are no password recovery options, because there are no 
alternative ways of identifying users (secret question / e-mail 
address).

If you still want this feature, remind me about it for after I 
add a user preferences page.
