So much this.
There is a default and unremovable contention between usability and security.
If you are "totally safe" then you are also "utterly useless". Period.
I really, really wish most security folks understood and respected the following idea:
"A ship in harbor is safe, but that is not what ships are built for".
Good security is a trade. Always. You must understand when and where you settle based on what you're trying to do.
- trey-jones 2y agoReally well put and I always tell people this when talking about security. It's a sliding scale, and if you want your software to be "good" it can't be at either extreme.
