I went in to delete mine. Was forced to put in my real name and current employer without any way to opt out. So for a short brilliant moment I was Bobo Bobolicious of Bob’s Boat Oars

    Say what you want about old timers but [ Notebook and Pencil ] has a 100% success rate if the attacker doesn’t have physical access.

      Sure, but that’s where the cross platform comes in, because I’d rather not have to lug said notebook around with me.

        Convenience and Security are different goals. You can either put security before or after convenience.

      Actually, that would make it easier to fall for a phishing page. My browser extension will only offer to fill example.com. If I’m on exarnple.com, it won’t. This makes me say “hmm, why no match for this page? ah! the domain is different”. With a notebook, I’d happily type the password in just the same.

        PEBKAC isn’t really an argument greater than a Strawman. If you’re saying operators can’t be trusted to be competent you might as well argue that these people shouldn’t own computers or cellphones, or kitchen knifes or other things that require a minimum competence.
