My take on this never have no password..

At no time any data you have someone else will also want therefore
running a open query with nopasword on the system for a couple of
hours will get access to your system..

Allways use passwords, If the users dont want passwords then you dont
need any membership..

And accept someone will run away with your data.

If you are worried about your password or access use ssl across the
net, because you cannot trust everyone between you and your site. Also
what happens if it goes across a wireless link and all someone is
doing is listening..

Regards Michael
