Secure authentication means login and password protection done with different technology. I do think these are confusing. It is be possible to autodetect the most secure settings in most cases. Often only email address would be needed for accurate autodetection. There are some pathological cases where autodetection will give wrong results. -- Heikki Toivonen _______________________________________________ dev-security mailing list dev-security@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-security
