I agree totally! Here is my rant..

Alas, we live in a world of stupid internet security. Kazillion logins and passwords! I am a scientists and I review scientific articles for over 50 journals. All of them require logins and passwords. Since many journals are now controlled by publishers, often you can't keep the same login and password.
My work place is paranoid; I don't work directly with patients and yet, the level of security is outrageous. Yet, I hear of security breach every other day.
I hate the almost hourly "security updates".
I am convinced that some of the very common websites (not objectionable sites) leave more than cookies. The operating systems and web browsers are so full of holes, unless you stop surfing the web, you can't avoid these intrusions. Yes, there are password vaults, storage programs, etc. I bought one of them but they change so frequently that you need to keep buying their updates.
Computer business is for crooks. I switched to Mac and have less of these problems but it appears to be toothless.
