Awesome! :-)
Some of the comments on that article from people that claim to be in the
field are a bit disturbing, though...
Brings up an interesting point. Moving away from passwords to cached
private keys is something that most people _do_ see as lesser security,
despite the fact that when properly managed it provides far better
security. I wonder how it is we're supposed to combat that problem.
Education doesn't work; a lot of people's eyes glaze over if you try to
explain to them how it provides superior security.
