That's great until you're on the phone with customer service and you have to tell them your password. Kind of embarrassing.

They should be embarassed about asking you to give your password over the phone.

I've never had to give a web system password over the phone. In which cases would this happen?

Yeah, I actually had to send one of my passwords to one of my friends in SMS (I know, totally insecure etc, but time was more critical at that time than security). I felt a little.... embarrassed afterwards.

I'm far more used to emails cautioning not to reveal my password to anyone since they will never ask for it than to having my password legitimately asked for.
