An other solution is the use of one-time passwords [1] for high-security
or https-unfriendly users (e.g. logging in) or actions (e.g. checkuser
action). Such one-time passwords can be generated entirely on the client
side (e.g. a program) or on an external device (e.g. SecurID [2]). This
transfers the problem "unsecure password" to a problem "protection of
the
password generator" (e.g. with an offline password) and introduces the
key
distribution problem (e.g. the physical device).
Would something like Extension:OATHAuth fit this purpose?
Oh yes, this type of extension would be great for checkusers/oversights;
probably the documentation should be improved if deployed on the Wikimedia
wikis -- I didn’t know myself how this was functionning exactly when I
played with it.
Thanks,
