Sorry for steering this off topic and perhaps rather inappropriate for the list. Because of the inappropriatness feel free to email me directly. How can we establish a system of IDs and Passwords to control student access for any information (but let us say Personal or Sensitive) over the Web. Problem we would not want to issue any additional info to students to create such an id/password scheme. Solutions??? Every student has a matriculation number, email name, Surname, DoB .... other pieces of info. The ID system for web based system has to be unique either Matriculation number or email name Then we need a password, it can be surname (too easy to guess or attempt to crack), DoB (eaaaasy to guess, 365 permutations for each year, 366 for leap years). Could use either or Matric No. and Email name for ID and PAssword but it is not going to be the most confidential information students have. ========================================================== sort of issuing "secret" passwords has anyone else got a solution or how do you do the job.
