I don't know about you, but I think I'm going to stick with dumb locks for the foreseeable future.

And my admin password is an Icelandic volcano

Yeah, no, not that volcano, a different one.

It probably wouldn't be a good idea for Harinelina to use this as a password, of course, but with that many characters, it's pretty good even without numbers and symbols.

Passwords don't make everything more secure

Thanks to Bloorjack Horseman for reminding me of this problem. Though I haven't encountered it (yet) with Adobe Reader (probably because I use something else to view PDFs), I have seen needless sign-in requirements added to other things, like Visual Studio.

You might think that forcing you to log into an app makes it more secure. Taken to an absurd extreme you might even think this would solve the problem of software vulnerabilities because PoC exploits wouldn't even be able to pop CALC.EXE without knowing the right password.

But here's the paradox - the more things that require passwords, the more people will get burned out from entering passwords and ultimately the more it will encourage people to not only use simple passwords but to also reuse them everywhere.

Adding sign-in requirements to things that could (and for a long time did) work perfectly well without them is just going to exacerbate the password problems we're already struggling with. It will make security worse, not better.

And if that wasn't bad enough, frequently adding a source to the whitelist will uncover still more untrusted sources that you didn't even know about before.

I suppose if you look really hard, you too could find an actual use for spam.

Some people like to say that Google is just like Facebook when it comes to privacy, but while Facebook doubles down in the face of breaches, Google takes a different path.

Operational security isn't just for crooks and spooks. It can help protect endangered species as well.
