That's the idea, of course.  Any time you have to pass the credentials
over the air, it's a throwaway :)

FWIW, I've only recently been able to calm myself enough to believe that
common-trust username-only accounts for sending non-critical messages is
even worth considering.  It's hard to keep one foot in the modern IT
world and one in the ham world ;)
