Description
Dear ATC,
As part of a forward looking vision for our national security, and the internet as a whole – I propose that you advocate for the removal of static passwords.
Why?
When I researched why the internet is so insecure I concluded that static passwords are the main reason.
Because they are static, they are stolen via breaches.
Because they rely on users to be security experts (like our own parents and kids.)
I found out I am not the only one thinking static passwords are the main reason.

Does the security industry expect everyone to remember passwords with eight characters or more—upper, lower, number, special characters and also use a captcha?
Oh, and also to change them once in a while?
Oh, and have a different password for every website?
Oh, and...
I wrote this manifesto, to explain the pros and cons of keeping passwords. This article is not meant to be read, it is meant to be read and acted upon.

We can see how keeping passwords help fund evil. The bad guys use this to their advantage, and from the proceeds fund terrorism, human trafficking, weapons and child exploitation online.
“The only thing necesary for the triumph of evil is for good men and women to do nothing.”
