Ok :-) It appeared in response to my remark "Such connection is good for us 
though security pundits may disagree..."

On a serious note, what can go wrong with such an authentication method, what 
are pros and cons of these two (and other) authentication methods disucssed?  
Will be perhaps a useful technical discussion on this list. Enlightening for 
many of us.
