    I know using a strong password is important, but thats the bare minimum. this is more directed to the people who think strong passwords are the grail and will LITERALLY not do anything else, and call people paranoid schizos when they try to suggest security

          Yeh, for 99% of casual internet users… they just aren’t going to care about that.
          They don’t want their email/Facebook/back account pwnd.
          Like, at all.

          It’s like saying that 0.01% of traffic fatalities are because an airbag forces your head into the roof of the car. So you should wear a helmet when driving.

          You aren’t wrong.
          Internet is a massive part of our daily lives. We should be able to fully trust the things we use to interact with it.
          But convenience is going to win

      Hey I’m like that. Honestly it’s just annoying. Your service isn’t a bank, it doesn’t need to be locked down like one.
