Re: CFC - Accessible Authentication and issue responses

The more I look at this the less I understand it!

It appears to pretty much debar all authentication processes that involve user information entry - as whatever they enter either has to be retrieved from the user’s memory or copied (tanscribed) from somewhere. Also I do not see how an authenticaton process can rely on every unspecified user agent being able to enter a user’s personal information (at present, surely, public terminals will certainly not have access to stored user intormation)?
