authenticating with XMPP ID (jabber address) Posted May 28, 2008 19:03 UTC (Wed) by martinfick (subscriber, #4455) [Link] These people still have at their disposal simple cheap HA solutions to this if they choose. 1) memory 2) cp passwdfile passwdfile.bak 3) + email passwdfile.bak file to offsite email account 4) + encrypt passwdfile.bak before emailing offsite 5) cp passwdfile to USBstick/passwdfile.bak ... the list goes on. While not everyone chooses to do these, at least they are reasonably available to them.
