| In principle true - Having 1 password for Google account + one passphrase may be great - in a sense holy grail But... as some one doing CS for many people - People just dont focus or show importance to these things - People will forget the passphrase and lose data - The importance to the data that was lost is MORE painful than the 'loss' of privacy - So many people incl. my spouse live totally in phones (and work laptop). With the advent of large screen phablets (a.k.a - all new phones) - one does not even need any tablet. - Sure, your advice is logically correct but reality for most is that people still treat password or PIN as a PITA. I sincerely wish some country will pass strong privacy laws + have a connection between google/apple account with national ID of some type so that people can validate and reset password of SV behemoths. But again - strong privacy laws so that neither govt not SV misuses it. |
