Your last statement is just not true. My mother struggles to log into Facebook. "It works on the other computer". Yes, because the password is cached on the browser there; it's not on my laptop. "I'm putting the right password in but it's not working". No, you're not. Etc.
- jjnoakes 11y agoSo are you arguing that facebook shouldn't have launched, because users exist who don't understand how to log in to it?
- dave2000 11y agoNo, I'd certainly not compare a web service which nearly everyone uses - and for many is the only reason they have an internet connected device in the first place - with an encryption technology practically no-one uses. Someone here suggested that "PGP isn't too hard - you just need to spend 30 minutes studying cryptography before you use it" which pretty much makes my case for me!
- aftbit 11y agoI'm sad that we've gotten to the point where asking users to make a small investment of time makes a product basically a non-starter. There's such a thing as too much convenience.
