Where I worked our regular JavaScript file was pretty much the same as the minified version
Maybe they're in one file because 2014 programmer thought fetching one file instead of two would make load times faster?
And since they're always used together you now only have to reference one file instead of two in all your pages making your load time even faster and your code base a bit smaller?
And since you have to write only one JavaScript reference the development time is faster too.
We know none of this is true, but 2014 programmer was an idiot and who knows what they think

If you have a cow that won't produce milk, is that a milk dud or an udder failure?

customer said: When the app starts up, load the user name from a file into the clipboard to they only need to paste it in and not type it in. Same with their password"
Makes sense. I mean we are supposed to be "automating the office work".
EDIT:
Also, if they (insert gratuitous self-promotion here ==>) use my C'YaPass app they will never have to type a password again, because it really will allow them to paste it in.

Closed captioning is nice for work viewing.

I started to try to write a joke about someone asking for their password to be set to "there" and communication being a routine about there/their/they're, and where the guy points to being a peice of paper he pointing to.
but writing it down didn't seem as funny.

Sounds like an executive level request to me. So if you can accommodate them . . . . just them.

A system I worked on encrypted the password given on the login window and passed it to a component running on an app server which held it in memory for up to 8 hours. All the apps at startup would pass the userid to the app server to get the password. If the password was returned, it decrypted it and logged into the database, bypassing the login window. This allowed the user to only have to type their password once per day. The userid was filled in for them using WNetGetUser.

So, really, you just needed the right userid to login. Neat.
I can imagine all the hackers sitting and waiting on their mule to sign in for the day: "Come on! I need my daily access!"

Sounds like something similar to Kerberos. Maybe it was Kerberos.
Kerberos (developed at MIT) is an extremely well designed single-sign-on system that really could deserve to become a great success. It was one of the flagships of the open source, *nix based packages that was on its way into several of the widespread applications in the erarly 1990s: There were "kerberized" versions of file transfer programs, email, remote login, ... Web pages were not as essential then, but I believe there were web browsers supporting Kerberos authenitcation.
But then... Microsoft discovered it, saying "This is really great! We will build our distributed athentication on the Kerberos protocol". And the reaction from the open source community was exactly as could be expected in the early 1990s: "Is Microsoft using it? Then one thing is for sure: We will not! We will not have anything to do with something that has been touched by MS, even if it really comes from our side!"
So Kerberos was effectively killed by/in the open source environment. Aside from MS, still using it (but not promoting it as it should have been!), there is very clear to zero use of Kerberos. That is certainly not because "better" solutions have displaced it: 99% or more of all logins today are made on authentications systems clearly inferior to Kerberos.
Such is life. And getting sucher and sucher.

Whether or not if this is a stupid idea (it is).
We as a business need to have a serious talk about passwords usage and security.
I'd rather be phishing!
|
|

|

I take it they don't want that file encrypted either, so they can easily update the password when it needs to be changed?
I'd be responding with "why not cut to the chase and remove all security?" Because you know that's what's going to be next anyway...

Oh that must have hurt, you had to sit there and listen to the request and NOT stab the speaker with a pen nor could you call him a bloody idiot.
I had the same requirement from a manager once, I want to sign in once and never again, and I worked in a bank. I referred him to the in house security department who castigated him rather thoroughly.
