Wasn't it always obvious that this is not secure? Does anybody care?  Are you storing your important account number, SSN and PINs in your TAY messages or something!?

I would just quit the site rather than use FB or something like it for access.

I use it every day and it does not matter one bit that weather.gov is unsecure.

I have scores of passwords for different online accounts. I certainly don't use the same password for TAY that I use for sites that contain important financial or personal information. If somebody hacked my TAY password I would just change the password and then (maybe) patch up whatever they hacked. Not a big problem, in my view.

I get the "I don't wanna use FB Login" but if you already have a FB Account, there's really nothing you're losing with this. Not to mention you're taking some security off the site which is good for Admins. There's many other ways to handle this, TAY could implement Auth0 or a number of other security measures. It's bad practice to have any kind of username/pw sent over clear text.

As long as everyone is aware just make sure your TAY account pw is unique. Personally I'm not too worried about someone getting into my account to see my PM's or whatever. They can't spend my money using this login so what harm can someone really do beyond being annoying?
