I keep saying this myself. I feel bad because there is a real problem they are solving (phishing) but ultimately it is an overly technical solution to an extremely human problem. They're only as strong as their weakest recovery method and the inability for the average user to understand the technical implementation and ramifications takes power away from a personally held secret (problematic as that may be) and shifts it towards more platformization.

It all just makes me vaguely uncomfortable in ways I have a problem fully articulating.
