How about using OpenID for authentication? You'll only have to remember your one password, and you can leave this tedious stuff up to your OpenID server. Most servers already have robust human-verification (CAPTCHA), and password recovery solutions (MyOpenID, Livejournal, Videntity).
I'd love to add OpenID auth into the codebase and give a demo at the tuesday beer session. Where can i get a copy of the pdx.rb code? You can read more on OpenID at http://openid.net/ and http://openidenabled.com/ Thanks, Brian Ellin On 2/19/06, Sam Livingston-Gray <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Adding a CAPTCHA is probably overkill too.
