- omh 15y agoThis feature is still present in the latest version. When I enter my password I get a window like the one here: http://depressedpress.com/2011/03/07/lotus-notes-tribunal-exhibit-001-b-login-screen-animation/ http://depressedpress.com/2011/03/07/lotus-notes-tribunal-ex... Really though, this is quite low down on any list of Notes UI issues. There's a whole can of worms there that's best left unopened.
- r00fus 15y agoIt's actually a pretty good implementation of preventing login dialog imposters. However, with the popularization of keyloggers (and signed binaries), that should have been sidelined as no longer needed. I'm guessing it was somehow related to some big business/government clients that require such a feature despite it's efficacy.
