Thats slightly better then the 40% you claim.
Frog also does not only reply on geoip.
What's with this almost religious zealotry where you try SO hard to bash
Strongbox, so much that you'd be so completely dishonest as to take that
quote and totally skip the very next sentence? The very next sentence is
the link saying "see GeoIP City Coverage and Accuracy". What I said was
that at the city level, it's wrong up to almost 40% of the time in certain regions.
Some examples from their site, linked as the very next sentence after the one
you quoted:
France 37%
Greece 38%
Italy 36%
Saudi Arabia 46%
Poland 37%
Switzerland 36%

You were obviously staring right at that link since you copied and pasted
the sentence right before it, so are you illiterate or are you dishonest?

I always find it odd in threads where it comes down to SB and PF you feel you need to bash PF more then just back up your own program.
Actually if you are able to read any post where I've ever mentioned Frog you'll
see I ALWAYS compliment them. I've included a couple of compliments of
Frog in this thread, saying they are one of two decent, modern systems.
In fact, I said here in this thread that a typical Frog installation will often stop
a compromised password SOONER than Strongbox will. I explained that
this is a difference between Frog and Strongbox - Frog is typically set up to
be stricter, so it stops passwords sooner, at the cost of blocking more legitimate
members. Our philosophy, by comparison, is to make sure we do NOT block
legitimate users, even if that means it takes a few minutes or hours longer
to catch all of the compromised ones. So again, if you've read any thread
where I mention Frog you've heard me compliment them and then give an
accurate comparison, one that they would more than likely agree with the
majority of. So again, did you read but not understand, or did you understand
but choose say something that you knew was not true? Are you illiterate or
are you dishonest?
