Firstly, no one is going to see your password. I'll come onto that, but they just won't. Ever.

I feel sorry that the author is so socially isolated that he never shows anyone else anything on his computers. Instead he invokes papparazo and cold-war imagery with telephoto snoopers hiding to get snapshots of small tablets (ipad mini - not even a full ipad) and yet never thinks of "hey, check this out"

Did you really have to phrase this in such an impolite way? Couldn't you have simply stated your point instead of calling the author socially isolated. The author might simply have a different workflow than what you are accustomed to.
The author had zero qualms in stacking the deck himself, and I was merely responding in kind. Someone wants to see your password? Then they must be hiding in the bushes in the parking lot with a telephoto lens. No-one will see you enter a password? Then you must be socially isolated.

This isn't about having a different workflow, it's about the author having a pain point and engaging on a rant instead of bothering to think it through properly.
