I agree that it's not magic, but if you think using SSL and asking
for a password is all that they do, or if you think this is all that
you need to do to secure a session or a Web application in general,
you're simply wrong.

Any code written by someone with this perspective is almost assuredly
full of security vulnerabilities.
