Should you prefer UX over security? Having your customer database stolen seems like the worst possible user experience.

I realise that we're saying pretty much the same thing, but the design process should be like this:

1. Make the application secure enough so that the cost to a malicious user of cracking the security is greater than the potential value of doing so.

2. Given the constraints of #1, provide the best possible user experience.
