It's interesting to read here that Flickr already has something like this
with an upload key. I wonder how secure that is? When it comes down to it,
I think only experienced Wikipedians really care if their Commons passwords
get compromised. After all, new users just get a thrill of seeing their
photo added to the competition. I wonder if any of them have ever noticed
their pictures even get used in the lists? I totally agree that the mobile
upload function needs to be on Commons, so people will become Commons
members and not anything else. Now I have an additional idea, namely this,
that we allow mobile upload users to ONLY use the {{own}} attribution. This
way even if the passwords get compromised, the damage can't be that bad and
will always be easily traceable.
