Sadly that is true. Luckily, if they are using a password manager, it will do the right thing. Some work has been done on UX here, Apple seems to hide the URL and show only the domain name on iOS sometimes, which is interesting, but annoyin

I think it's far more localised than "city" or "region". It depends on where in the city the place of work is and if there is a car park. E.g. the 2 biggest employers in Oxford UK are the University, where almost no

No one working for BP asked to spill 5 million barrels of oil either. But they did ask for oil to be extracted, and we all asked them for it so that we could put it in our cars, busses, trains, delivery trucks etc.
