Ask HN: obfuscated link vs. username/password?
In building a couple simple web apps, I'm considering using an obfuscated link:
http://domain.com/8498j9f43498j9f43o8jeo8je9jfe
that members can bookmark, rather than require a username and password every time.
Terrible idea? What are the risks if the url is long and random enough?
- byoung2 16y agoWhat are the risks if the url is long and random enough? Users wouldn't be able to use public/shared computers without the risk that this URL would be left behind.
- wwortiz 16y agoI don't sync bookmarks and rarely use them; so take multiple computers/devices and I wouldn't be using your service very easily
