Maybe the HN crowd needs to re-think login security. About 25 years ago challenge-response was a HUGE thing in login security. As https gained momentum and traction that went away. But the nice thing about challenge-response (at least for Javascript enabled clients) is that the password is one-way hashed before sending to the server.
I wonder if it's time to up our game again and go back to that model.
