Thanks for the reply Mark.

I'm going to look into some alternatives using LDAP or AD to authenticate. This 
system will be used on an internal subnet so there are various authentication 
mechanisms already in place which I can utilize. Adding extra passwords for 
lists and users, in my experience, confuses the situation. Unless a system is 
easy to use, most user's will abandon it. I'll report back with a solution if I 
find one,

This would be somewhat complex to do as currently unlike for a subscription 
request waiting confirmation from the user, there is no entry in the list's 
pending database and thus no confirmation token for a subscription request 
waiting admin approval. Not only that, but there is currently no pending record 
type for a subscription request waiting admin approval.

All these things would have to be addressed.
