I've reported some bugs and one thing that I always hate is the GPG Key. It is always a huge hassle to use for some reason and for half of the time it doesn't even seem correct or the other party isn't even using it themselves anymore.

If you are an average person and you notice that changing the ID in the URL to another number gives you access to data you should not see; you aren't some elite hacker as many of the news articles try to portray you. So expecting from them to use a GPG Key while they only have their ISP provided webmail will be near impossible for them to do under half a days work.

Especially as most GPG tools are very unfriendly to use.
