I have been struggling with this one lately.

Should domain renewals require the username and password for a domain?

I have had a number of panic renewals this year because the user did not
have access to the admin email any longer, the domain had expired without
them receiving notification, and the website "died" until they could prove
that they owned the domain through the FAX "change admin email" process.

I've had a number of different people ask me why they even need to know the
username and password to renew a domain - and that they didn't used to need
this information. I think that's true - it was not a requirement in early
versions of the client code to know the username and password in order to
renew a domain.

What are your thoughts on this one?
