JF has been directing energy and attention at various and entirely 
worthy goals, both within Montréal and further afield.

As for OpenVMS, two-factor authentication with FIDO or ilk would be 
interesting, now that USB is available on most boxes.

Password completion is available for modern APIs via password managers, 
but not much accesses and manages OpenVMS via https or ilk.

(Yeah, I know it was meant a joke.)
