    Hard why not both? You should use a password manager & create less accounts on platforms or sharing your phone/email if you can help it.

      Sure, in general yes. But in reference to the comment, writing a check they would already have my name address and some reference to my bank account details even without the online account, which implies a high degree of trust.

      If I need an account to read an article on a website? Then I’m not interested in reading your article.

        V true. I was think more along the lines of any sort of cash, debit, check transfer that doesn’t involve accounts or folks skimming money off the top rather than checks specifically when interpretting the meme.
