I've been thinking about this.  It seems like security is being traded
off for convenience.  If a breach of security occurs (like the yahoo
breach), it means that multiple accounts are now compromised.  I can
see where it becomes easier to administer since the responsibility for
administration is now someone else's responsibility.

Am I missing something?
