that's ... one of the dumbest thing I've ever read
- eddieroger 2y agoSecurity is easy if you don't care about usability.
- 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!
- tialaramex 2y agoI know right? Stupid facts, going around disagreeing with your intuitions. How can shared secrets be a bad idea? I mean, it was considered pretty good a thousand years ago, can technology really have improved since then? [Hint: yes, drastically]
