The problem with this scheme is that if database storing the salted hashed passwords is compromised, then an attacker can easily log in as any user. In a more standard setup, the a…

Minor nitpick: it's actually the U that makes it not actually stock. Owning Restricted Stock counts as being a shareholder, but Restricted Stock Units aren't Restricted Stock.

Sharing the screen is definitely in our plans for functionality we're building next.

Sorry that it didn't work for you. There's a bug which happens occasionally for some computers where we try to connect to the camera and fail and retry, and it looks like that's wh…
