Are passwords pseudo security too? They are easier to guess than a random url. That one is entered in a form field and the other in the url bar doesn't really matter does it?
- tptacek 16y agoIt sort of does, since your browser knows that it needs to be carefuly with things you plug into password fields, and doesn't know that it needs to be careful with random URLs. But that's less of an issue with a hidden IMG tag.
- arethuza 16y agoPeople are unlikely to share passwords - they are highly likely to share links via email or IM.
