I’ve been on the road for work for the past week, and have logged in to the admin part of my site over unencrypted links, which is something I hate doing. I should really just configure an SSL vhost for my site to eliminate this problem, but what I’d rather do is add challenge-response authentication to Typo. Or maybe it belongs in a Rails login generator. No more cleartext passwords, even over regular HTTP.

Not that I need another project, really, but I can likely use quite a lot of the OpenSource LiveJournal auth mechanism, and it’d be pretty useful, I’d think. One more for the TODO list.
