Yeah, it's a tradeoff by nature. This applies to security in general, not just computers. Having to unlock the door to your house when your hands are full with shopping is annoying, but the alternative is leaving your house unlocked all the time and trusting nobody will walk in.
Depending on the context (location, is there usually someone home anyway, value of stuff within the house) you may or may not find the tradeoff makes sense and voluntarily opt for the worse 'UX'.

- pcr0 7y agoAs in security against stalling lead to a UX disaster that caused planes to dive into the ground? I'd argue the moral of that story was to redesign the plane, instead of piling on hacks to save costs in the short run.
- melon_madness 7y agoAs I understand it, they tried to design a new plane that wouldn't require pilots to be re-trained on how to use it, if they'd already been trained on an older model. That's the UX I'm referring to.
- jonny_eh 7y agoCertainly a (bad) trade-off, but I wouldn't classify it as UX. It's more of a safety vs sales trade-off.
