Hi, Trish. The advantages of a portal to tasks in the cloud is obvious and compelling. It should be done, for the reasons you describe and many others. If there were a separate cloud containing only the data of people who have opted in, I would be fine. If the portal drew its data from the existing MLO Cloud database (the one used for cloud sync) I would be okay if the data in the cloud were all subject to strong end-to-end encryption and never existed in the clear anywhere in the cloud *except* for people who opted into the portal service and thereby waived encryption. But the easiest thing to do (and therefore the most likely) would be to build an app that would provide an interface to the data in the existing cloud. Even if such an app refused access to data whose owner hadn’t opted in, I would be uneasy. I would view it as the equivalent to securing a bank vault with a padlock, and also a sign that said: Caution: do not break padlock.

Understood, Dwight. Unfortunately, for those of us with unsupported phones (for example, me and my lovely Windows phone!) it's very difficult to justify using MLO without some means to access our data. A web interface would be a logical way to do this. It would have to be opt in, of course. Your data would only be accessible if you opted to allow it. I would likely choose to have two different files - my general to-do list would be exposed, as that's the one I usually access from my phone, and the other one would not be exposed to maintain it more securely. Or, as we move ever closer to a universal Windows OS, perhaps in some future version it will all be moot for me...😎 _____ From: Dwight Arthur <mailto:[email protected]> Sent: 11/10/2014 19:26 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [MLO] Online Version in the Future?

It seems very logical to do this. I don't know whether a web version of MLO is in development or not, but I do have a concern. Presumably one of the objectives of a web version would be to enable me to access my tasks easily and quickly no matter where I am. However, this would probably also enable lots of other people to access my tasks easily and quickly no matter where they are, so long as they can guess or sleuth my password. I would not like to see that happen. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MyLifeOrganized" group.
