How would a 'forgot password' function work in this case? If you're using something like GPG to encrypt and the password is basically the passphrase for the key, a customer forgetting his/her password would become an irreversible event, and he/she would end up losing all data.

- GaryOlson 15y agoWe have all begun to assume that the business function of restoring a lost password is almost a right. This is a service; and as such a different level of account service should be implemented for the lost password function. If you are willing to assume the risk of all data lost, no password recovery service and no charge. If you want the password recovery service, then a mechanism and equivalent service charge are implemented on your account.
