Comment Re:Anyone remember voip (Score 1) 410

I used to go to a University that would encourage you to use their VPN over dial-up (not as in, "use our VPN, but make sure you're dialing in", but more like, "if you're dialing in, make sure to use our VPN"). It was interesting because you would dial in to their server, and then start the VPN client. Why the dialed-in connection wouldn't just be in their network, I'm not sure.

  1. 1. A company shouldn't have my password stored anywhere in a form that they can decrypt it.
  2. 2. A company shouldn't have the answers to my security questions stored anywhere in a form that they can decrypt it.

That's why the agency is asking for the salt as well. They're trying to eliminate the parts of the formula that make it so that you can't figure out what the password is. Reverse engineer the impossible formula, so to speak.
