The problem with this scheme is that if database storing the salted hashed passwords is compromised, then an attacker can easily log in as any user. In a more standard setup, the attacker needs to send a valid password to log in, which is

We're definitely working on adding additional ways to authenticate. Right now, we're using Google because that's something most people have. We're trying to make a much easier user experience than Google Groups, so tha

It's a good point that there is a big difference between Internet communications and real life, and we're trying hard to address that difference. There are a lot of nonverbal cues that you pick up in real life, and you pick up more of these
