I don't mean to exclusively blame the victim, but you can only go so far to protect a user if they won't protect themselves. I haven't read through the suggestions on the site, but it seems like this should be the primary -- as a user, you need to take care of your own safety and not rely on good development practices to protect you.

You just blamed the victim. Again.

My comment implied that I was. I said it's not exclusively their fault, implying that it is partially their fault. In the case of reusing the same password between sites, the blame for reusing that password does lay with the victim. That's not to say that sites should be sending the password to them -- that's still a horrible idea. A site cannot prevent a user from reusing the same password, though.

I guess what I mean to say is that you need to play both sides of it. As a developer, you should be doing all you can to prevent anything from leaking user info. As a user, you should do anything you can to prevent leaks from one site affecting other parts of your internet identity. Isn't that the entire goal of the FAQ this guy is putting together?
