Ahh, for $20 WinXP users can drill *another* security hole in their heads
and give someone else all their passwords.

How.... useful. To the software vendor, and to any crackers who break into
his systems to harvest your passwords that have been doubtlessly transmitted
to the vendor, with or without your knowledge, or left exposed by another
un-code-reviewed, and doubtlessly flawed Microsoft based "feature".

Why don't the clients of this tattoo their passwords on their foreheads and
save the crackers the time?
