Maybe its time to rethink desktop security. I realize that there is credential manager on windows, keychain on mac, and similar on gnu/linux; even with that it seems for a lot of services "all" you need to do is steal a cookie and all of a sudden you are someone else.

fuck no. It's imbossible to be productive on an android or ios phone, where the os is hostile to you actually using it the way you want.

For an example of rethinking desktop security, see wayland in linux, and how ll accessibility programs now ~~don't~~ cannot possibly work.
