<body class='hmmessage'><div dir='ltr'><br> <BR><div>From: thb@net-bembel.de<br> <br>> Valid point: How about a checkbox in the very same dialog that enables the <br>> edit widget and the CLIENTUID processing? This way, the user has full control.<br> <br>I actually used a checkbox on the "first draft" of my fix. Then decided it was redundant since an empty / not-empty edit box meant the same thing (and I would only need to store one new thing for the account, the string; instead of 2, the string and the checkbox state). But a checkbox may be more obvious to the user.</div><div> </div><div>My other thought on the string itself: per a document I found (I think from Intuit, I don't recall), Quicken, using an irreversible "secure algorithm", combines a 128 bit random number associated with the data file, the USERID, and the Branding Identifier (BID) of the FI to generate the CLIENTUID. </div><div> </div><div>Using the same exact string (the file ID) for different institutions would be a little less secure.</div><div> </div><div>Jeff</div><div> </div> </div></body>
