The automatic reissue of a password being emailed to the member, and that geo-ip thing sounds interesting. Any chance of having either of those features added to strongbox in the near future?

Password mailed to member exists, but is currently lacking in intelligence,
it just emails new passwords like Phantom Frog does. We think that's a BAD
idea for most webmasters. We're currently developing a more intelligent
system as part of Strongbox 4.0, to be released soon.
Regarding geo-ip, as you may know, Strongbox was the first such system to
use any kind of geo-ip. Country based geo-ip seems to work quite well,
possibly better than Frog's assumption that the database can be trusted to be
more specific than that although the company who makes the database says
it's wrong as much as 40% of the time, depending on the region. However,
Frog's "feature" is great marketing since most webmasters don't realize it's
based on an admittedly inaccurate database, so in Strongbox 4.0 we're blending
both approaches. Whereas Frog RELIES on the database being more acurrate
than it's creators claim, Strongbox 4.0 will CONSIDER the more specific geo-ip
information ALONG WITH other factors including basic bio-metric indicators
which look at the person on the other side of the monitor.
