A Pebble with Tasker could get you there (HTTP POST) or one of the integrations. Even IFTTT or DO. You could probably also even go with the Magic Form app described in the OP's article.
Making it context aware is possible too (e.g. in the bathroom or at work) with some thinking of Wifi routers or if you wanted NFC tags, iBeacons.
Couldn't agree with you more. They have no problem sending me emails about new campaigns or other activity on the site. I feel like a message about a possible security issue would have been a decent thing to do.
(It's electronic communications, your assumption should be, without a doubt, that someone is listening, seeing, hearing.)
