playing the devil's advocate, if every consumer using a web site to buy his product using a shopping cart wants to do it that way, why shouldn't it be the same for a messaging product ? Those docs are like anyone else wanting an easy-to-use product : they'll forget their passwords all the time , and they'll want instant password renewal gratification , just like any ol' shopping cart authentication model. Don't forget that extra pseudo-human re-authentication , e.g. mother's maiden name or favorite movie title questions , etc : that'd surely would be enough to renew a password. And to beat the man-in-the middle, we could always send the password in some crazy writing embedded in an image , just like the spammers are doing now.
