Security is a bit like traffic. If you're alone in the world, you do you. But you are not alone, you have a responsibility to others, be it passers by, fellow travellers or those loved ones depending on you making it back alive.
- ss64 2y agoIf a new account has that much power to abuse the system, then your problem is not the 2FA security. They don't need to crack your account, a bad actor could just create a new account for themselves.

Frankly, in a lot of these cases the site owner (e.g. Razer) has already decided to put their interest ahead of mine by requiring accounts to e.g. configure peripherals locally so they have can harvest sign ups for their marketing lists or tell investors they have XXX MAUs. I don't care if my password choice inconveniences them in turn.
- janalsncm 2y agoSounds like you’re describing a situation where every user must have a secure account in order avoid a problem. In that case, it’s not just the technically-minded folks here who need to have secure passwords. The site itself should enforce password security, not individuals.
