But it would be an extra security option, not a necessity.
Graal still encrypts the passwords you have it save It holds them in the registry. That's really how they obtain the password is by decrypting the password stored in the resigtry.

It wouldn't be too bad of an idea, I think, if Stefan added some extra personal measures for accounts such as requiring not only the password but particular things. Kind of like how sites like Paypal have you give them something only you would know like mother's maiden name or whatever. Answer that question and you get your password. But in the case of Graal, the questions are asked before you log on and they cannot be saved in the registry. The questions should be rather obscure but hold a personal value so that it won't be forgotten. Perhaps a different question each time? Use this feature for nearly everything that involves the input of the account password so that if someone gets the password, its useless without knowledge of the vitcim's personal memories.
