That's actually the most important reason to use SSL. I'd much rather have my HN account compromised than everything that shares a password with my HN account.

  So don't use a password that you use elsewhere. I logged in to HN once. When I signed up. I've never logged in again. I don't even remember what my password here is.

    Great advice, but it's not realistic to assume that people will do this.
