Re: Email security for monks?

Well, one way would be to have the "registration completed" email give a link that lets you reset your login info. Sniffers might be able to intercept your password, but they won't have access to your email, and you can use the link at any time to change your login and lock out the person who's hacked your account.

That is a nice idea! Although someone will manage to crash his harddisk, forgot to make a backup or generally has his "registration email" misfiled or by switching to another mail reader cannot access it anymore and he will still have to petition the gods to get his account back.
