matty,

I wonder if you could take a moment and tell me more
about why you like Phantom Frog better than Strongbox.
We have some great new features for Strongbox 4.0, such
as some basic biometric checks to consider the actual
human being who is trying to log in rather just looking
at the IP as Phantom Frog does. Also we'll show the system
fingerprint in the reports so the webmaster can visibly
see the different computers people use. These two features
of course make Strongbox far more secure than Phantom
Frog, which is automatically bypassed by all of the password
sites that link through proxies, but we'd like to know
what other improvements you think could be made.

We may start letting people know that our systems do
give you the option of automatically re-issuing new passwords
to people who share them like Phantom Frog does by default,
but to me that seems like such a bad idea that I really don't
want to encourage webmasters to do that. From a security
perspective that just seems insane to me, that when you catch
someone stealing from you you would hand them a new key,
but at least our system does it in a controlled way rather than
continuing to give them an unlimited number of new passwords
every time they post one.

Anyway really I'd like to have a two way conversation with you
aand really find oput more about what you think. Can I call you
some time? Perhaps there is a good time to reach you on ICQ?
I'm still at 979-530-1300 and answer 24/7 as always.
