I don't understand. AFAIK, anyone who asks can receive an account. As a
consequence, the only real point of a password on an ordinary account is to
ensure a particular account remains associated with and used by only one person.

OTOH, sensitive information needs protection from anyone in a position to
divulge without potential for recompense. Thus access to protected
information should be limited to non-ordinary accounts, and only those
non-ordinary accounts should need more than nominal security, if any security
at all.

What am I missing?
