With over four decades of extensive experience in the field of computing, I am increasingly finding the use of passwords to be quite troublesome. The proposition of a password manager does not serve as a viable solution.
In my professional opinion, if the expectation is that private messages remain confidential, the current situation appears to be a violation of individuals' privacy by Google. It is crucial for users to have the autonomy to opt out if they so desire. I would appreciate hearing your thoughts on this matter.
