    The problem isn’t weak passwords like Ritzau and Jens Myrup Pedersen want you to believe. It’s that we are using passwords to authenticate authorized users in public databases for unlimited time and bandwidth.

      having 50+ passwords to manage that changes every day is partly the reason

      that theatre is directly bad
