The only person who could get hurt is the one who uses the same password for HN as they do for their bank. Is it the responsibility of the website developer to protect that person from themselves?
- erujolc 14y agoNot on HN unless you're retarded
- corkill 14y agoProtect them from themselves no. Protect their password as much as possible when interacting with your web app/website I would say yes. I don't think about it as a responsibility rather just a nice or the right thing to do.
- manuscreationis 14y agoI would definitely say it's the responsibility of the application developer to secure user account information, in addition to being the nice/right thing to do.
- manuscreationis 14y agoSince you made the same comment more than once in this thread, I'll reply to you here as well. This attitude is absolutely not ok. You need to make sure the security of users accounts if a top priority, even if your app is 100% trivial in nature.
