[clue] Passwords (was Re: Website and git.)

[jacob]

As an aside. Anyone using a service like gmail or yahoo mail should turn on
two factor authentication.

Google also offers Application Specific Passwords that can be easily
revoked for use cases where the password is persisted to disk. (Like an
email sync client)   Gmail also provides a details link on the bottom of
gmail which will show you where activity is coming from. I do not know what
other services offer these features.

Passwords get compromised and stolen easily. If someone can access your
email they have the keys to the castle usually.

p.s. I work for Google so my opinions may be biased. Also my opinions do
not necessarily represent Google.
