Why are we still doing this? We've known how to do secure authentication without the remote end holding your secret for years via public keys. Everyone here likely does this every day with ssh. There is even a browser mechanism for generating personal certificates for web authentication. The correct long term solution to this ought to be making this solution more intelligible and accessible to users. To hell with passwords and password exchange. They are a huge bug on the internet.
