[Bug 387297] Re: manage-credentials should not ask for Launchpad password directly

HI,

well, another possibility would be encrypt username+password somehow
with a public launchpad gpg key, which needs to be fetched from a
trusted site, and with the users gpg key which is known to launchpad...

Sounds really strange, but should work...another possibilty would be to
have a non-webbased-authentication via ssh, and the public key, known by
LP...

I really don't see any other (sane) possibility to workaround this
phishing problem.

Regards,

\sh
