Would it be possible the BBS admin to implement https for the login page? Many TUGgers will be logging in from unsecured networks and, as it stands, are sending their credentials in the clear.
...and definately dont use the same password you use to secure anything important.
agreed, we certainly suggest not using your personal name/email as your username, and definately dont use the same password you use to secure anything important.
TravelSFO, how much experience do you have with online passwords?
secure has a cost.
no forums are secure. i dont think any social media is secure.
there are commercial sites that have unsecure signups/logins and even major corporate sites where they are secure, but do not have a dedicated secure login page.
There are different levels of secure. I'm not suggesting you secure the entire site. I'm just asking for basic security for the user's credentials not being sent in the clear. That means just https for the login page.
