I see it got successfully bikeshedded into the ditch. Services that offer single-sign-on (SSO) options usually also offer a username/password option, so SSO is not a solution to this problem. You'd still need a password-reset capability.

jdporter - what would it take to make password resets change from the current (email out the plaintext password) to sending out a password-reset link, in the PerlMonks codebase? Is it as simple as an additional SQL table "password_reset" with columns UID, one_time_key, time_requested, and a page that takes the first two as CGI params, asks for a new password, submitting to a second page that takes those 3 values and updates the database by updating the password and deleting the password_reset row? (The time_requested is so it can be cleaned up periodically)

cavac - how does PageCamel do this?
