Don't enter your passwords into third party sites.

Huh only my bank password would take a long time

>entering your password on a random website

Nice try, I know your tricks

Don't enter your passwords into third party sites.

maybe this would be sound advice if they had any idea where to even use the passwords, or their corresponding accounts

but they don't so why does it matter

Instantly because I don't give a FUCK about my privacy and there's literally nothing worth hiding on any of my accounts on any website. If someone logged in to my YouTube account, for instance, the worst thing they could do is delete my videos or maybe upload some random shit, all of which would be easy to damage control.

mmm yeah you're a real dirty slut aren't ya

This site is basically phishing for info

It can use your IP address and various tracking cookies to determine who you may be by comparing to information gathered elsewhere. Maybe correlating your IP to an email address, and using tracking cookies to determine what sites you use, such as amazon. Well now someone could have access to your amazon account, since people typically use the same password for multiple sites, and could defraud you using linked credit cards or address information. Overall it's just a very stupid thing to do, regardless of how you feel about personal privacy.

I'd argue having your credit card information on some website is just as stupid, even if it's Amazon.

A hypocritical argument to make, since you don't consider its privacy important. Regardless, you missed the point.

It's not hypocritical to give ignorant people the benefit of the doubt during a discussion. If you can refute an argument from a multitude of different perspectives, that's a good thing. Privacy is unimportant, but not everybody sees it that way. So, it becomes necessary to look at the issue from a wide array of viewpoints, because discussion can't really take place if we're working against fundamentally different premises.

It's also not hypocritical because I consider money matters to be an issue of security, not privacy. There's a distinction.

If you fear being defrauded, a more sensible solution (in my opinion) would simply be to not have your credit card information online, rather than fuss over having a random password anonymously submitted to some random fuck-off website. This is neither hypocritical nor missing your point--all I'm doing is giving an alternative (and arguably better) solution to that problem. If you need to make some kind of online purchase, there are safer ways of going about that.

That's kind of like saying it's more sensible to keep valuables somewhere other than your locked house because you might drop your key on the street. At the end of the day, even if we're not discussing bank information, it's still unwise to put your password into something like this -- the fact that there exist secure payment methods other than storing the data on a site doesn't affect the stupidity of giving away your password.

Well, I wouldn't say it's a smart thing to do, but if you genuinely don't care, what's the issue?

If someone doesn't care, then that's fine; I was trying to address people that probably do care but don't recognize the risk of using that website.

I think most people recognize it, actually--but they also recognize that the risk is pretty minimal. Not to mention, this particular website has been around for quite awhile. If anything shady were happening, you'd think it would have been taken down by now.

I don't really know a lot about that, though.
