The trade
Reachable everywhere means reachable.
If something can appear on any device you sign into, then signing in is the whole of your security. That is a small surface holding a lot of weight.
We are not against convenience. We are against pretending it costs nothing.
A card is deliberately less convenient in one specific way: you must be holding it. That single inconvenience removes a long list of remote problems.
What you buy, what you pay.
Sync
- The convenience
- Your vault on every device.
- The cost
- One account opens all of them.
Autofill
- The convenience
- No typing.
- The cost
- A page can ask, and sometimes you say yes too fast.
Cloud backup
- The convenience
- Nothing to lose.
- The cost
- A copy exists where you are not.
Easy recovery
- The convenience
- Locked out for minutes.
- The cost
- Someone else can start the same process.
We chose the
inconvenient part.
