Why do some Web sites make you copy and type in a bunch of hard-to-read twisted letters and numbers when you try to sign up for an account or log in?

DevShed is starting up a new series this morning with this new tutorial, part one in the creation of a simple blogging system using PHP and MySQL.   In this three-part tutorial we are going to be creating an open blogging system. We are also going to provide scripts that will make it possible to switch to a closed blogging system. This article, which is the first part, will cover the creation of the login scripts for a closed system.   They start with a definition, the difference between an open blogging system and a closed one (if users have to register or not). They start with the creation of the database to store the users in followed by the PHP code for the simple login page. It uses sessions to keep track of which user is logged in. Of course, where there's a log in, there needs to be a log out and they give the simple code for that. Finally, they include a "forgot your password" script to help users when they can't remember the info they'd signed up with.

Psychotherapy for UI design Editor's blog Here are some thoughts on user-interface design and the simple psychology of rooking the user. Try this for an example: I have been staying at a hotel where there is Wi-Fi available in the form of a T-Mobile hotspot. Letâs not go to the length of criticising the hotel for not fronting this service itself, putting the cost on the bill, etc â or indeed, just burying the cost in the hotel charges so it appears free. What it does mean, however, is that one has to go through T-Mobileâs SignUpWithYourCreditCard process... tedious but survivable.â¦

What Yahoo's massive conversion to OpenID last month lacked is a way for Web sites to securely authenticate the users who have signed in. As it turns out, OpenID's directing body may want Microsoft to provide that part.

Passwords are out and tokens are the authentication wave of the future, right? Not so fast, says Jon Espenschied. The next next thing is both stranger and more familiar.

DevShed is continuing their series on PHP security with this new tutorial focusing on the security surrounding user authentication.   So far we have covered security vulnerabilities that involve form data, databases and file systems. In this article we are going to look at authentication and the security issues around it. We will also look at some of the most common attacks in this field.   They start things off by describing two of the usual authentication methods - via a login form and through HTTP authentication. They start poking a few holes by looking at some of the common attacks for these approaches including two popular ones - brute force attacks and password sniffing.

It&#39;s another level of security for America Online - but users will have to pay extra for it. AOL is offering a optional log-on service that will require more than just a password to get onto the service.
