I have to assume the system combines both PIK and password for identification purposes. The password is too short to provide, by itself, proper identification. There are about 10^8 combinations in the password, but there are other (26 + 26 + 10)^4 combinations (over 10^7) in the PIK. A unique, private log-in ID would solve a number of issues. The user would log-in with: a private ID (up to 20 characters), a private password (one for each access level, up to 20 characters), a private PIK (one for each access level). The system checks to see if there are more than 10 consecutive failed log-ins. No Turing number is required, but the users can associate the PIK with the Turing, and thus see the log-in method as being pretty familiar. Sidd, I wonder if it is possible for a user to make his account balance public, but not to everybody?! I mean, the user should be able to send a temporary password to anyone who needs to see the balance, but people without that password would not see the balance. ... Something like a letter from a bank certifying that a client has a specific balance.
