:wouldn't that be agent-domain specific? Seems to me that this would be a function of the client software. There's no real loss of time resubmitting a 3 word login (first, last, password), so its just a matter of how the client software handles it.[[User:Saijanai Kuhn|Saijanai]] 16:04, 29 May 2008 (PDT)

:No, there's no way the client can tell why or how it "failed".  There definitely needs to be a "deferred login" type function.  Instead of hard coding the "agreed to TOS" into the protocol, that should use this too.  [[User:Gigs Taggart|Gigs Taggart]] 23:47, 30 May 2008 (PDT)

Conditional login success

What is the exchange here for an expired password that needs to be changed before logging in? I'm not sure this should be a straight failure. Is it possible to rework "select agent" to request arbitrary additional information? Making this bit extensible might be a good thing. Gigs Taggart 08:36, 29 May 2008 (PDT)
