I think people should be able to be fully signed in without machine-generated
passwords - otherwise it is discriminating against those who use a lot of
different machines. What about using the double-login idea with two distinct
user-definable passwords?
Or making it (if you can legally do so) the *users* responsibility to choose a
secure password, by making them click a "I accept total responsibility if
LUGNET is hacked into and this password is used to get into some of my other
accounts because I'm too dumb to use a unique password". But in a (more
polite?) legalise fashion.
