I remember seeing this in Lotus Notes. Never saw it before that, or since.
- yencabulator 3y agoOh yes, that could be it! Employer made me run Windows in a VM to read corporate email. My memory doesn't match videos I can find online of it, but that could be version differences.
- compsciphd 3y agoAt IBM someone made something called fetchnotes that worked like fetchmail, but worked with mail and calendar, made me able to get away with minimal usage of notes.
- nmstoker 3y agoYes. Wasn't it to make it harder spoof a password prompt with a static image popping up?
- Cyykratahk 3y agoI think it was to provide an indication that the password was correct at a glance. (IIRC the number of dots in the password field was also generated, so it didn't necessarily match the number of chars) The image was essentially a simple checksum. Each user would eventually memorise which icon was "theirs".
