And yet you also tell people to share a single gmail account for the solo plan shared with family...
...I fail to see how this is a good model for security.
We are working on something fancier here, but it's tricky to get right so we haven't released it yet.
To be clear: if you're going to share a google account, you should create a new empty google account to do it, and should assume everyone in your family is an admin.
Please let me know if you found something on our site that isn't clear about that.
As for how it relates to our product, I agree this post doesn't go into the "how" we recreate this programming environment. We certainly don't ever take a "security be damned" attitude, it's most of what I think about.
The goal is to build a secure environment, to achieve the security we had in disconnected environments (LANs), while keeping the world connected. If the environment is secure, you can spend less time wiring security through your code.
