I'm probably going against the flow here, but I value convenience over security.
I had my identity stolen once, and it sure was annoying... if also a little fun. A credit was opened in my name, that I had to fight to close, and I was even interrogated by police because false me was associated with shady characters (surprise!) but in the end it wasn't the end of the world.
Security "features" however, are usually so annoying they destroy the will to live. They would be tolerable once, but they're constant, and constantly remind you that you are, in fact, a suspect. They pretend to "protect" you but actually dehumanize you and every interaction you have with other humans (not to mention security theater, where the features don't increase security in any way but are simply there to make you "feel" safe).
Being alive is to be at risk, and at the mercy of bad guys. We should accept it and enjoy life before we all die in the end anyway.
