A really interesting post by Jeremy Keith which raises a good question about the responsibilities on us developers.
“While we can’t protect people from themselves, we have a duty not to deceive them into thinking that throwing passwords around like confetti is acceptable behaviour.” - Adactio: Journal—The password anti-pattern
In an other post you get a very good example on the use of the “password anti-pattern”.
“Twply is up for sale …sold. That means all those passwords are available to the highest bidder ($1200 in this case).
Sleep tight, Twply users. May you wake to a better day.” - Adactio: Journal—Antipatterns for sale
