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)

the only one i like is the first one ... Since i use the same edit codes for my rentries & its based off a name from IRL & i have bad memory ...

the first one is great, the second one is bad for people with poor memory, and I don't really know about the third one

i think preventing using the same ec + strength meter is a good idea, strength meter seems more easily implemented though!

HUUHHH NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

I'm stupid so I don't really understand the last two but I always keep my edit codes randomized, if that helps. I keep them all in a notion to keep track

i definitely think the first option is the best and i think the third has potential! so does the second option but i dunno about people who don't write ec's down...
