It would have disadvantage, because you're not hidden if you go and |
| 25 |
login to your own bank, c'mon! |

Actually you reveal yourself, it's like putting a mask on, as if going |
| 28 |
incongnito, and then calling loud that your name is: |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
John Doe |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
and there the bank confirms that you are the certain John Doe, because, |
| 33 |
guess what, you know your own: |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
password |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
(, token, whatever), to access your bank account. |
