Er, buh? - (admin) - (3) - Nov. 30, 2004, 02:58:41 PM EST

That's enough of a detriment not to warrant the risk IMO -NT - (FuManChu) - (2) - Nov. 30, 2004, 04:13:16 PM EST

How is that insecure? - (FuManChu) - (2) - Nov. 30, 2004, 04:17:29 PM EST

You're unclear on this. - (admin) - (1) - Nov. 30, 2004, 04:18:26 PM EST

See below. -NT - (FuManChu) - Nov. 30, 2004, 04:22:21 PM EST

Bah. Risk is the issue. - (FuManChu) - (9) - Nov. 30, 2004, 04:22:03 PM EST

So what's YOUR suggestion? -NT - (admin) - (4) - Nov. 30, 2004, 04:23:51 PM EST

So how does that change your answer? - (admin) - Nov. 30, 2004, 04:48:36 PM EST

Same risk than we have now during login. - (imric) - (2) - Nov. 30, 2004, 04:30:48 PM EST

Same outcome, different risk--the attack surface has doubled -NT - (FuManChu) - Nov. 30, 2004, 04:37:17 PM EST

Not mine. - (CRConrad) - Dec. 1, 2004, 02:33:03 AM EST

I'd rather not vote on solutions until we discuss risks - (FuManChu) - (8) - Nov. 30, 2004, 05:43:54 PM EST

Re: I'd rather not vote on solutions until we discuss risks - (admin) - (7) - Nov. 30, 2004, 05:53:17 PM EST

Nope, wrong - (drewk) - (1) - Nov. 30, 2004, 09:35:34 PM EST

Yes, a *good* challenge question would be needed. - (Another Scott) - Nov. 30, 2004, 11:26:03 PM EST

how about 4, the way we do it now - (daemon) - (3) - Nov. 30, 2004, 05:18:15 PM EST

Which is? - (Another Scott) - Nov. 30, 2004, 05:21:17 PM EST

And what would that be? - (admin) - (1) - Nov. 30, 2004, 05:21:46 PM EST

the way it works now - (daemon) - Nov. 30, 2004, 05:34:53 PM EST
