clearly he only is concerned about managers, who cares if the cubicle proles have their passwords cribbed. After all they can be replaced like so many broken light bulbs…

on the other hand, i’ve repeatedly seen people do things like a) accidentally type their password in the wrong window (okay, *I’ve* done that — with people in my cube) or b) forget to remove their hardcoded password from a script they sent out to the team.

Clearly though I don’t do the sort of important password-protected work that jakob nielsen does.

I suppose Richard Stallman doesn’t have the mistyped password problem, either — as he doesn’t use them.
