I might be wrong, but it seems that a limitation of s3:/// is the
ability to work with multiple S3 accounts and specify multiple sets of
S3 credentials. I haven't thought through the specific syntax, but if
there was a way to specify and store multiple key/secret pairs for
multiple S3 accounts and specify a default account, the the current
s3:/// syntax can automatically use the default account and
credentials and a some sort of syntax, such as s3:account@///, could
be used to specify S3 access to an account other than the default
account.

Interesting idea to re-use the username/password field.

Perhaps a user can choose their master account (which is the default)
and if they have multiple they can change it via a dropdown in the
s3://bucket/ listing
