OK, but I'm interested in what makes the Web Subscriber Interface a) ask for a password before a subscriber can even enter a request as opposed to b) allowing a subscriber to subscribe or submit a request to change his options and then confirm the subscriber's request via an e-mail (which contains an instruction to reply to the server with an OK and cookie).
