Whats the point of javascript passwords? - they don't do any good!
Whats the point of a javascript password if all you need to do is view the source of the page to get a user name and password?!?!?!
Please explain this to me!

I only explain it on my site as an example of using prompts and getting information from them.
There are better JS Password scripts though- but no JS password system I have seen offers full security.
The only thing they are really useful for is frustrating web newbies on your home page.

No problem.
Since you have your own domain, you might want to try .htaccess.
There was an example of this in an earlier thread, here it is:

shai,
The username and password are not in the source code of all javascript passwords. Try the gatekeeper script at http://junior.apk.net/~jbarta/. By the way John he has a challenge to anyone who thinks they can crack it.

John,
If you get in let me know. I am planning on using the script on a site and am interested in whether the script is as secure as I think it is

shai,
Jim is right, the password are not in the html source pages, they are all encrypted by using an algorithm. It will be hard for a non-programmer to crack it. But as for a person who is familar with Javascript programming, cracking into it is not a problem, but it sure needs some time. I have once cracked into a javascript-secured site, because I'm lazy to scroll through the pages to look for it. The one which Jim recommended is quite a tough one to crack. I'm still trying to get into it.
