Very few people like change. The change that we’d have to think twice about using our username and password on something that looks legit seems foreign because we trust companies wouldn’t do that.

But with the lessons over this week we need to strongly consider where we put out information every time we’re asked for it.

Realize that trust isn’t instant and just because something has Twitter attached to it means that the guys behind the scenes have good motives.

Your ideas are intelligent and well thought out - better than just saying "Be afraid". Excellent suggestions. Your ideas are intelligent and well thought out – better than just saying “Be afraid”.

Most twitter users and end users in general don't realize that there are other security options besides passwords. But one thing they do understand: laziness. Alternative security measures, right now, take a tiny bit more time and energy, so developers and site masters are l.a.z.y.<br/><br/>For now, share your passwords with apps, it's ok. Just keep unique ones for each app and change them sometimes. If you can't remember them all, write them down on an actual sheet of paper and keep it in a locked drawer. ROCK on, Goldie.
