Comment on Locked out - Google's absurd security measures won't log me in

While that is true, I do not fall into that category. I let KeePassXC generate all my password and most of them are longer than 30 chars. I’m just simply tired of being forced. I believe I should have the say in how I want to secure my account. Not the companies.

  Hmmm I wonder who the single person who downvoted you was.

You can believe what you want, I guess, but that does not change reality. The company also has a vested interest in marketing your account security. They also lose out when accounts on their system are compromised. It seems a bit ridiculous to say that only one of the two parties who have a vested interest in security here gets to set the rules.

The problem is that they can’t tell who is who, nobody wants the extra hassle of extra security, and in the end the companies have to deal with the fallout (customers asking for account recovery, compromised accounts being abused, …).
