> Its the IT job to provide security without having to inconvenience the user. you can't just add extra layer of inconvenience for the sake of security. Your ultimate goal should be to provide security without adding additional inconvenience to the user or without having the user to notice it at all.
We trade convenience for security every single day. Ever get locked out of your house because you forgot your keys? Why is that level of inconvenience (requiring keys on doors) okay but it's up to a security team to only implement security solutions which are frictionless and require zero change to workflows?
Further, if we require keys on our doors, why wouldn't we require similar measures on software systems? If they are inconvenient, they are inconvenient compared to what? No security?
