Think roommates or children or whatever. i.e. I'm fine with walking away and
coming back to find a roommate checking their webmail on my computer. I
however would be displeased if instead they were reading say my webmail. I
also wouldn't approve of them ordering things using my credit card.
This is a common case.
There's been a lot of talk here about this or that ultra cool security
feature. We're forgetting common cases. Most folks aren't going to go
digging through configuration files to find a weakly encrypted password. On
the other hand leaving things wide open just because you walked away with
your screen unlocked is a bad idea.

is not utterly absurd.
