What's appalling about this is that it effectively means that anyone can be arrested potentially for life because they forgot a password.
As someone who has forgotten passwords in the past: this is outrageous.
- kakarot 9y agoWhen I was in jail for only a month, I forgot a password I had recently changed, and when I got back home I ended up having to reformat my hard drive and lost a lot of old data. Poems, prose, music, images from my childhood... (well, what was left from recovering a failed drive from a year earlier, anyways) Put me in jail for a year or two and I'll probably lose access to everything I own.
