Yes, it is. We just don't promote that because we think it's a BAD idea for
most webmasters. For huge sites with thousands of members the
customer service workload might be so that that it makes sense, but for most
it doesn't make sense automatically to give someone a new password after
they've already given theirs out. With our recommended configuration, you can
almost guarantee that any compromised passwords were given out by the
member, so the webmaster may want to use some judgement in giving out
new ones.
When we set up such a system for a webmaster who insisted on trying it,
we found that indeed people would keep giving out their passwords everytime
one got caught if you do a "dumb" system like Frog has. So before promoting
such a thing we're waiting until we're done developing an
intelligent
system that isn't open to this kind of abuse.
