would you rather have literally 10,000+ points of failure in your system, or none?
if you chose the latter, you better put tiktok on the blacklist.
people are unreasonable, and most of them don’t care about any kind of security. our IT department regularly tries to log in with shit like “Password1234!” and find hundreds of accounts who have this password. that is why we have 2FA on our phones which force us to use a pin that’s at least 8 digits long.

nah, nobody cares.
