One of us can change that - I'd prefer you to do it as you are an 
authority on this. But, if you have any problems, I'd do it on your say so.

So, assuming the options are identical (which they appear to be), pls 
feel free to make the change to:

https://www.gridpp.ac.uk/wiki/Long_running_jobs_using_myproxy

Pls see above (I'm not quite sure of the meaning there, to be brutally 
honest).

I suggest we note that as an option. Can we work it into the procedure 
as background/workaround?

e.g. For users who wish to avoid hardcoded password, this workaround 
exists <link to document suggested>
