I just tried that :-)  Got a message that since I have not used this  
computer to login before with that Name and Email an email is sent  
(my apologies to the person who would have got it )

It's an interesting approach and will be interesting to see how it  
works out.

But one question, if the authentication is based on the machine being  
used to login, why have two fields and not just email address?

Regards
AJ
