If Tucows were actually concerned with security, the RWI interface 
should be changed to require a Client Certificates [in addition to a 
password].  We have an internal application where we generate 
certificates for all client access to a reporting website; sure it is a 
serious pain to deal with people who don't even know what browser they 
are using, but it means we have zero maintenance of passwords and 
absolute control over who has access to what.  We actually use the fully 
qualified DN in the certificate to limit access to a specific subtree.

More information available if desired...
