This is not at all abnormal behavior. I'm kind of amazed consistently by the lack of awareness of the HN crowd of the habits of most users. Most people do not think about what they do on a computer even a fraction as often as a developer or other user here would.
My mother, for example, does not really understand that websites are run by individual entities. There's one "internet" and all websites are kind of like a strip mall under general management, so in her mind if one page on facebook askes for a password to read my email, how is that any different than reading my email on on the yahooo page.
All she knows is Facebook, an "official" website asked for a password.
