That's probably not a good idea - even if your nose is 2m long ...

I've always thought of that as a dog, not a cat, behavior.

I have a service provider whose site for paying my bill is ridiculous. I sign in an then watch a doughnut spin forever. Basically, I put it on a separate screen or sit down and watch a movie or two. Occasionally it will pop up a dialog asking if I am still there. My first thought is that it is some sort of VM, and my second thought is that this is BS.
There are many sights that have multiple ways to ensure you are you (location, email, text, etc.). None of them require you to sit back an wait for them to eventually let you in to pay your bill.
I propose a two level login. A login to pay the bill and a login to access account information. Most of the time you just want to pay your bill, so if someone compromised that password - who cares. If they want to pay the bill for you - let them.

You odviously have to do a site better, if your posting in the CP Lounge. People can be very critical they're.

So knock up a library/plug-in for it, and charge several times what you think it's worth (if it's cheap, people won't trust it).
You've put the idea out there, now, so you'd better hurry, before someone else gets early retirement from it.

You think I am the first person that thought of that.
I doubt that cracker's are going to request more services or a change of address. But one level entry point is a security issue, no matter how you phrase it.

It's bleeding obvious but it's not ubiquitous, so either no-one has thought about doing it like that or no-one has done it.
All it needs is a little div, about the same size and shape as the godawful recaptcha thing, that allows the site owner to easily wire it up to accept context-sensitive user names and passwords. Sites that currently do things like that don't exist (from what I've seen), and pre-written password-entry scripts are mostly unsafe, too simple, or so complicated to use that you might as well write your own -- and making them context sensitive would be an exercise in futility, because they only do the easy bit.
You want better: write it, sell it.
Don't give it away, because many business don't like trusting this kind of security to unsupported freeware.

Something I always try to get through to telephone bill paying 'personnel'. If someone wants to pay my bill, don't worry about their ID - just take their money.
I mean really!

Exactly! Who cares who is paying the bill, as long as if gets payed.

My car and home insurance bill works like that. You only need to know the account number to pay it. Partial or full payment. Hmmmm I suppose there is a problem there.
Okay, nothing to see here. Move along.
