Oh god every time I see this argument it makes my blood boil.
It's 2014. There's no excuse for re-using the same damn password over and over again.
And it doesn't make sense to make the situation worse for everyone else because they don't care about their online security.
Get a yourself a damn password manager and use a unique password for each service then we can kiss all these password leak problems goodbye.
Time after time we see people making a big drama because company X had all their 50 million password leaked. Oh was it hashed? Oh was it salted?
If you use a unique password for each service, the service provider can store your password in plaintext and you will be safe.
That's what I do and I couldn't care less if all the passwords in the world are leaked in plaintext.
- laumars 12y agoYou're right in principle but couldn't be more wrong in practice. I certainly don't have time to educate all 7 billion people in the world about password managers and you're clearly doing very little in that area either (aside kicking off condescending rants at your peers....) so deliberately implementing a scheme that's shit for 99% of the worlds internet users just so it's better for last 1% who are technically minded is just elitist and wrong. Which ever solution is implemented needs to work for all groups of internet users - not just yourself ;)
