Google is still a huge part of the problem for requiring all kinds of acrobatics to log into their service which you are forced to use due to the fact that it's one of the only free email providers, the fact that email is pointlessly required to use most websites, and the fact that a huge amount of websites only allow gmail and a few other hosts (yes, there are also other stupid websites that go the other way around and block gmail, yahoo, etc). Government is at fault for not using their billions of dollars to create a simple _modern_ protocol to transfer information. Using web for banking or tax purposes should be illegal just as it would be to use a kids toy radio in the military.
