Finally someone said it. This is a relic from when a row in a database table for a session id cost about $400. I'm joking of course but that's what literally was on the mind of early internet engineers. The only company that fights this is Google and apparently tailscale.
The same Google that makes you log in again on like every other `gcloud` call? By copy pasting your password into the shell prompt?
Microsoft does too. And Apple (but they’re not big in enterprise, of course).
Unfortunately lots of compliance people/orgs don’t seem to want to give it up.
