Comment on Typing In an E-Mail Address, and Giving Up Your Friends’ as Well parent

Comments

Wait -- are they just using the password you type for their site to log in and go through your gmail account (guessing that they're the same pw)? That's fraud. I don't care if it's in the fine print. I use multiple passwords, but not enough. If websites just start using my passwords to break into my private data on other sites, that's seriously fucked up.

No, users explicitly enter their email password.

I blame this on user stupidity.

I blame this on developer negligence.
