All of these issues were discussed extensively and addressed during
Zero's office hours.  Sabin's follow up was a great summary for those
who were unable to make it.

A huge win for moving authentication to the website is so that
anti-fraud/phishing efforts can be done for the second life grid as well
as for the website in one swoop.  We are working on getting you a set of
instructions for alternate clients, so please stay tuned for that
announcement.  Alts have always been able to log in, whether via the
second life client or via the web site, as long as they provide the
authentication fields of first name, last name, and password.
