Right! It would be nice for the system to also require the user ID (email address), and if there are too many failed log-ins (at least 10), the account could be locked for a day (or so). Damn, I just realized that's not possible because any idiot could lock any account by simply trying to

No monitor is safe. Tempest is a Transient Electromagnetic Pulse Emanation signal receiver which means it is not really being used to pick up monitor radiation (although possible) but rather your signal eminating from the motherboard/processor itself which gives much more data than just a

Patrick, But the way Pecunix displays the PIKs makes it difficult if not impossible to copy and paste them. So maybe Pecunix could also display each PIK in pure text in a form somewhat like George suggests: 1-a 2-4 3-T 4-u 5-X 6-b 7-Q 8-N 9-e 10-j 11-Y 12-u 13-A 14-m 15-9 16-h Absolutely!
