Is doing BasicAuth over SSL an option? That keeps everything from being sent in clear text w/o forcing everyone to setup a new account.
To be truthful, I have no idea what the status of SSL availability on php.net is. Whether there's an SSL cert, whether Apache is set up for it, etc.
We use SSL on master.php.net. eg. https://master.php.net/manage/users.php And I suggest we put a little password script there for people to verify their passwords. When they do we can store the md5 hash. -Rasmus
I like that thought. Can you do it? I don't know enough about master works; it'd take me awhile to put it together. Not to mention I don't have access. -- Gwynne, Daughter of the Code "This whole world is an asylum for the incurable."
