Every day you hear about breaches of security on the Internet and local networks. Usually this is followed by the usually warnings to change your passwords often, use complicated passwords, make passwords unique, require text message or email confirmation to login etc..
I certainly agree security is important with the caveat that what is being secured should actually be secured. I have a lot of user accounts, financial, healthcare, and a number of personnel accounts that are secured and should be. However half of my accounts contain really nothing that needs to be secured. I could care less if the information in those accounts such as what kind of socks I buy are secured. Most business share that information anyway. So why shouldn't I have the option to bypass most security except simple user id and password protection, if there is nothing I want secured? It would save a hell of lot of time and would allow the user to concentrate on securing accounts that really should be well secured and maybe we could eliminate the list passwords that people leave stuck on their monitor or keyboard.
