The password isn't the problem. If PSN / Adobe / Etc used large random salt for each password stored, industry approved hashing algorithms and other best practices while storing passwords, there would have been less of an issue with getting those hashes exposed.
- redblacktree 13y agoBut just as users don't generally pick secure passwords, lazy/time-pressured/incompetent (pick one) developers don't create secure password storage mechanisms. If the fix is as simple as defaulting to the other factor of two-factor auth for single-factor auth, it's worth thinking about.
- omgitstom 13y agoDefinitely is worth thinking about. Defaulting to another factor would still be an issue as well. There are a few discussions on this post that highlight them.
