One of my biggest gripes with most sites is the password requirement. 90% of the sites I have signed up for have NO truly private or sensitive information that I supplied. So why does everyone want a password? Wouldn’t an email address be enough to identify someone? I think it is a “computer science” thing. Programmers have been trained that a password is “good”. I am not the only one who uses the same password on every “stupid” site that has none of my sensitive or private information. The Internet really needs to grow up.
Nice article.
