Not trying to be a pedant, but wouldn’t “[...]it’s far from clear[...]” be (more?) correct?

If it’s ‘far from unclear’, it would seem to imply things are rather clear, IMHO.

I completely agree. Maybe this was the mental model:

    far from unclear           unclear      clear   far from unclear
          ^                                               ^
          |                                               |

Heh, sure, "far from clear" is what I meant to say.

It would take substantial time, expertise, and effort to audit that single web page. Even then any of the numerous pieces could change at any time.

So the risk is high, especially for something you are putting trusted passwords into.
