I once caught a webdev doing frontend authentification with a plain javascript dialog. Yes, simple! Put the password in the JS, and do a simple comparison. Why did I notice? Because the owner of the lamp account contacted me that all their data was suddenly gone. Checked the logs, and yep, Google Bot clicked all the "Delete" links in their internal management view. Simply because JavaScript is opt-in :-) Called the developer and educated him on what he just did. I lost a lot of trust in web people that day.
