Me too, but when I go out side and talk to real people I find very few of them are as simple minded as the group think they spout sometimes.
Has anyone jumping on this bandwagon even read the op-ed?
Where is our Galts Gulch?

I keep work and my personal life very much separate. Not just when I'm having a hard time in my personal life but also when it's going good. This lets work almost be a sanctuary. When I'm there nothing matter but getting the job done.
It's not easy, but if you are able to develop that separation you can almost shut off your personal problems at will.
The quote quoted by OP is a quote in a quote.
I look forward to the day when an option other than passwords become viable. Have you ever looked at a typical users password? Run john the ripper over you're users passwords field and prepare to be frighted. If you don't store them hashed just take a look at them.
The fact is we need a better option both for security and usability.
