Scenario Heartbleed 2 - People heed the advice of this author, and soon all passwords are abolished, replaced with email auth. - Of course, emails still have a password, as you can't email auth an email. - Heartbleed 2 happens, hackers focus on Heartbleeding email services. - For every email password you get, now you have complete control over this person's life, as all services are linked to it for auth. - Security experts start proposing that you have a separate email for every email auth service, and every email has a separate password, so you can isolate damage. - Result: previously you had N passwords for N services and 1 email. Now you have N passwords for N services and N emails. Yay for "improvement"! |
