Browsers do not have UI elements compatible with PAKE (unless someone cares
to bring up the basic auth dialog, in which case I'd simply suggest please
don't)

Brian Warner's "Magic Wormhole" use case seems like something of a killer
app for PAKE, but that's clearly a non-SSL context.

PAKE in SSL seems to be in need of new browser standards which are probably
unlikely to happen. I think "passwordless" standards like FIDO UAF/U2F
which offer a better user experience are far more likely to see browser
support.
