    Think of the Children

    Surely the desired take-away was not to make us more sympathetic toward the threat actors, but…well…I guess if I make their job harder that’s job security?

    I Didn’t Ask For Your Password Yet

    It doesn’t matter how clearly labeled they are – if you have 2 text entry fields next to each other someone out there is going to mix them up.
