Perhaps I'm just a simple developer not caught up in the wave of paranoia, but
I trust my associates, and really don't worry too much if they login as me, if
I've had an attack of paranoia and protected something they have a need to
access.

If it wern't for the fact that our machines are accessible to the outside
world on phone lines, I'd argue very strongly that we should avoid passwords
at all costs!

Come on now, most of us are on the same side, aren't we?
