Can apps steal your passwords? What you need to know!

“How would you say would be the easiest way to take a weapon away from a Grammaton Cleric?”

“You ask him for it.”

That quote, from the movie Equilibrium, echoes a longstanding issue with security. Namely, no system that includes humans is ever truly secure. We use the same passwords for multiple services. We write them down on our desks at home and at work. We tell our passwords to people who claim to be tech support on the phone or over email.
