The truth of the matter is that security is not binary (on or off) there are many levels. I suggest we take a step back from digital security and looking at physical home security. It is well known that locking your door is not enough to keep anyone from entering through that doorway. The door may always be broke down with brute force and a more skilled individual may be able to pick the lock. Even with this knowledge, and with stronger security measures in place, I still lock my door because I know there are those who are relatively trusted and allowed past the stronger defenses, but would consider an unlocked door an invitation to enter an area they normally would not. Thus, while still a form of security, the lock is only meant as a stern suggestion to turn away. (Just think of the lock on a household's bathroom door.) While a master password does not truly secure the data it protects, I want a password vault without a master password as much as I want a front door without a lock. I do understand the feeling that providing a master password may be misleading, but it is not useless. I would ask that a master password be provided for the password vault regardless of whether there was some prior login. Add a disclaimer if you feel you must, but please provide the option. -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.
