The problem is that taking extra security measures is often overwhelming--dealing with key fobs for two-factor authentication, juggling complicated passwords, and setting up email encryption can be a pain.
There's no doubt that if you want good security you have to put up with a little hassle, but the size of that headache is really up to you.
