I am wrong again. Adding master-secret is useless.

Now I think that asymmetric crypto must be used to prevent offline directory 
attack, which is the way PAKE works as.

I'm probably wrong since I only thought about it for a few minutes, but it seems to me that the PasswordVerify message would be encrypted with (keys derived from) the handshake master secret, which would prevent offline attacks.

What am I missing?

Sorry for disturbing.

Probably sorry too :)

Subject:RE: [TLS] is it good using password for authentication only?

Maybe I realize the problem. The PasswordVerify message is susceptible to
offline dictionary attacks.

Dose it become resistant to the attack if we add some secret generated from
master-secret into the HASH?

   PasswordVerify = HASH(username, passward, handshake_message_hash,
master-secret, label)

This becomes involved with key-exchange, but it is not involved with any
specific key-exchange method.
It just need the key-exchange result.
