You call it "willfully [sabotaging] security," I call it "the best alternative that doesn't leave me with a 30% chance of forgetting my password every 60 days."

1Password is smart enough to let me have a secure, non-leaked password of high complexity that I have memorized, then let me go years without resetting it. I started there and the policies have made my laptop progressively less secure over time.

It just so happens that the best alternative you could think of is literally the worst alternative anybody could think of. If I didn’t know better I would call it wilfully bad and chosen more to prove a point than for any other reason.
