an who of an average user does need that? I'm not an average user but I never need that. I also know no one who can't wait to get it or even think about wanting it. I only read in blogs or HN that one would need it. I think "you need that because of security" is PR/propaganda from certain companies.


As someone with executive function and memory issues, being able to use short pins/passwords to access my secured hardware is incredibly useful.


I think that’s a wonderful use case for a TPM, but I don’t think it means all users should be forced to buy a TPM in order to get security patches past 2025.

(I realize this is a slightly different goalpost, but I’m not GP.)


What threat model do you have that has people breaking I using a short password?
