The concept of swekey is fantastic. It uses the same (or similar) key technology as banks use for unique authentication.
Even if my username and password are somehow discovered, perhpas written down on a post it note no one can access my site as they dont have the physical key, a small usb dongle.
The software plugin is free and the usb dongle at $15 is nothing when you consider the security it provides.
And you can use the same key on multiple joomla sites, any openid site, phpmyadmin, drupal etc. (a full list is at the publishers site)
The plugin is easy to install and during the beta stage they have been extremely quick and responding to queries and taking on board suggestions.

This almost works. Sadly you have to disable your wysiwyg editor before creating the terms module or the raw html will be output. And if you install this you will no longer be able to create users in the administrator of joomla as it fails because you have to accept the terms but you cant as there isnt a box to tick in the backend

The bug with creating users in the backend has been fixed in version 1.1. Thanks for finding this. :-)

I found this extension on the forum a few weeks ago. As Christoph said at the time it was still very much an alpha product. Since then I've been checking quickfaq out of svn several times a day and the progress from that "promising" early alpha to this polished release has been truly amazing.
There is little this extension cannot do!!
And because of the clear and concise code and MVC architecture it is very easy for me to customise.
I wish all extension developers took as much care as Christoph when writing their code!!!

Sadly this module doesn't use the "defined( '_VALID_MOS' ) or die( 'Direct Access to this location is not allowed.' );
"
This means that ANYONE can access the html file used to send email

This module actually uses a series of javascript functions and a hidden input box to deny spam. Spam bots work by populating all input boxes, hidden or not, and then submitting the form. Our script checks to see if the hidden box is populated or not. If it is populated then a bot populated it. If it's not pouplated then it's an actual user because a user never sees the box and therefore could never fill it in. The script checks to see which is the case and sends or denies the submission accordingly.
All that to say this module is spam protected.

Even though the description says it does work the authors own readme states that it does not work correctly with gecko browsers as the generated bookmark only opens in the sidebar. Please corrct the description as it is misleading
