If a system relies on "passwords" (or any similar shared secret scheme) it clearly doesn't really care about security. Yes that includes your bank.
If it doesn't require shared secrets, this isn't scary, the git mechanism works just fine.

- tialaramex 2y agoWhat's funniest without any doubt is that passwords and similar shared secret systems have worse usability and worse security. They're a classic "Worse is better" like C where their principle advantage is simplicity of implementation. Sure, they're terrible, but look easy it was!
