Tough beans?
- crazygringo 11mo agoA good user experience does its best to avoid tough beans. That's kind of UX 101.
- dspillett 11mo agoIn the case of security procedures, I'd argue that there is some room for tough beans. Reducing security to cater for carelessness seems like a really bad compromise to me, one that I see far too often.

- tsimionescu 11mo agoThis is an absurd position, and potentially illegal - for paid services. You have a business relationship between the company and a person. Whether that person remembers the password or not is immaterial to whether they have the legal right to anything they purchased in the app.
