This seems pretty limited to me. Once a monk has given you their ID and 2nd password, you could effectively imitate them anywhere outside the Monastery. This means that monks would have to be very careful with this second password, making it little more useful than the first for ID purposes.

How about this: A person claims to be Petruchio, and wants an account on my site as such. I simply use the Monastery to /msg a monk of that name with a default password for his/her/its account on my site et voilą. No extra work for anyone, and the ID verification is as good as your primary password here. Even if someone who isn't a monk wanted to do verifications (seems unlikely ;-) they'd merely join the Monastery and they'd have the same ability. This also provides an automatic mechanism for a monk to know that someone is trying to impersonate them elsewhere ("/msg Albannach what the heck is this password for?").
