one thing that is very odd is 'mcEncrypt'; firstly because it maybe the only thing in LiveCode that betrays LiveCode's ancestry in MetaCard, and secondly because the Documentation (7.1) tells us nothing beyond that it is 'Reserved for internal use'. That 'Reserved' is all jolly well and good,

Some people dislike that method because it lets an attacker 'guess' a username separately from password; there is (arguably) more security in having the attacker be unable to tell which one didn't match. Personally, I don't know enough to have an opinion - certainly not enough to listen to my
