Edit: In response to your #1: Picking a password is all on the user too. But magically GitHub is competent enough to stop users from picking the password "ilovecake". Most users of GitHub are not security professionals. Just like most people opening a bank account are not bank vault security professionals. Original: They are downvoting me because they love / work at GitHub or don't understand how critical software security is. If you think about the physical life equivalent here (say a bank leaving keys out in the open for safe deposit boxes) there is no way to rationalize it. But all of a sudden it's our favorite social coding startup we can't actually call them out on a huge security fuck up. If this were Microsoft we'd be laughing.
