Re: Secure, but inconvenient
This type of thing is why secure RSS (RSS dynamically generated using a username and password to authorize the user) would be so nice. Imagine if you could set your RSS feedreader to download your eBay Message Center messages using your eBay username/password, your BBR post list using your BBR username/password, etc. This method would be nearly immune* to spamming, phishing, or password sniffing.
*Immune, that is, assuming that the local computer hasn't been trojaned. Once a PC's security is breached, all bets go out the window.
