Interesting that you mention that. This is the first site I've ever seen that is upfront on their home page with the risk and implication of giving them your password.
I won't (and wouldn't) do it - I don't even trust OAuth providers - but refreshing that they're promoting informed consent.
- ImprovedSilence 15y agoI couldn't agree with you more. But perhaps the parent's comment reflects the thought process of the masses? If you give people this honest, upfront view of the risks, they probably wont take them. If you play like everything's ok, and nothing could possibly go wrong by giving them your pw, even when that's not 100% the truth, they'll prob cough up their password. There's some interesting social engineering to be learned here.
- Spearchucker 15y agoThat's just as interesting. Security these days is driven by two things - economics and psychology. If you're interested in that sort of thing get a copy of Ross Anderson's book Security Engineering. He even covers the TSA.
