- ciupicri 14y agoI fail to see the tragedy, too. Every service should have an unique password. Also even if the password are hashed, if hackers get control of the web server, they could sniff the passwords when users log in.
- dredmorbius 14y agoWhy are we still relying on passwords rather than a secure PKI key-based access method in which unique keys are generated for each remote system accessed?
- ciupicri 14y agoThere's the possibility of authenticating with a SSL certificate. Fedora uses this method for a web service. There is also OpenID, but not many sites are using it unfortunately.
