--- Comment #15 from Matthew Flaschen <mflasc...@wikimedia.org> ---
"Of course, with logins still not required to use HTTPS, a lot of these
security
measures look rather silly."

There are different attack scenarios, all of which should be dealt with.

HTTPS is certainly very important for the eavesdropping scenario.

However, password brute-forcing can be used against anyone, even those who
always use HTTPS.
