I'd like to improve the security of edit codes. How do these options sound to you?
* Add a 'strength meter' that requires a certain length, like a password. This would be based on how hard it'd be to crack, rather than fixed rules
* Switch the custom edit code option with a tickbox, making it so that only randomised edit codes are possible.
* Prevent re-using the same edit codes twice within the same 2 hours on different URLs (checked per user, not against all users)

i like the first one most, 08–10 characters or more is good, plus a letter + number requirement.. i use the same password/edit code on everything but it is strong, so i doubt it’d ever be guessed
