NIST: People have given up on cybersecurity – it's too much hassle

hidalgonat

I am one of those people who just want to use the computer to check email, buy something now and again and go on social media. I hate that I need to create a password for everything. And then it has to be what that particular company thinks is a secure password. You must have 1 uppercase or symbol or some other combination. I should not have to change my password every 6 months or year. Who cares about a pinerest account? who cares about this site also? why do I need a password for everything even to just make a comment about having to make a password? After a while it is easy to just say "screw it" and when you forget a password? uggh! the hoops to jump thru is stupid. Like, what was my answer to that security question from five years ago? Who cares. And just to put this comment here I need an account, a password, a verified link from my email? Proves my point. Who is going to hack into my account here and post comments in my name? It's just a means for sites to flood my email with junk mail.
