gmr324,
I think we agree on most of what you just said, which sounds a lot like what
I posted. As I said, people seem to like the fact the Frog issues new passwords
to people who give them out or have them compromised, so I may make that
option visible in Strongbox. Of course you don't want to block legitimate
members. We just differ on our approach to to avoiding locking out legitimate
users. Our approach is to do two things differently than you. First, we
consider the many different factors rather than just relying on the one
thing, so we start out by blocking fewer people in the first place. More to
the point, we help webmasters set up strong passwords that won't be
compromised, so any passwords that get out were almost certainly given out
by the "members". On the other hand, your approach, which some
webmasters seem to like, is to never lock them out, whether they are posting
their passwords or not, they just keep getting new ones. Yeah, I think that's
nuts, but as I said it's the webmasters choice. Even if some webmasters
prefer to give away access rather than do any customer service, I still think
that's nuts.

Now the choice is I can either encourage webmasters to do something which
I think is nuts by making that the default, as you do, I can thoroughly
discourage it by not even setting up the option by default, or I can set the
option up, have it turned off by default, but make it easy for webmasters
to turn on. That may be what I'll do, or perhaps I'll make it an option on
the order form.
