Just like a submarine needs multiple keys to launch missiles, a main switch on the dashboard requiring two passwords. This would enable us to allow our significant others (usually wives) to keep the second password secret. This would put another barrier in place for those that don't trust themselves.
This would ensure that every time the filtering is turned off, it is deliberate.

How sad that someone can't look around and see that a lot of adults in a whole range of categories can't control their actions. Maybe the world would be a better place if we had THE OPTION of double passwords on texting while you drive, drinking and driving, supersizing, etc. Why would you criticize someone for proactively trying (in their view) to make their life better without impacting you or anyone else?

It could also be useful if a rogue teenager happens to guess the password of one parent. I think it could be a useful option, and I'd bet a lot of families would employ it. Before showing your self-righteousness, accept that some people need additional help. If you have ever violated any law, sped in your car, double parked, or sipped the foam at the soda fountain and then topped off your cup, or any number of other things, you have a self control problem. A second password is not a "crutch" or a cure, it is gentle reminder. I agree with justhere3, why be critical. I see more than one possible reason to have filtering double password protected.

I agree, it is sad, but the fact remains that there are millions of people that are too young or too irresponsible to govern their own choices as well their are far too many adults that are a product of our media culture and being accountable was never taught and/or have never developed proper boundaries. We are not a healthy society as a whole and we have more than 30% of our population who are in need of some form of compass (moral or not) to keep from hurting ourselves and those around us who we care for and who care for us. I applaud the person who will admit that they need a form of accountability much more than someone who besmirches another. Two passwords may just be enough to facilitate another day of healthy honesty.
You are correct!!! It's very sad and you should count your lucky stars you don't have that problem! (you may have others...)rn
you could do this with two factor authentication. There's many different versions. The one I like is provided by a start up company called duo security. basically, in this scenario you would set it up where you have the password and your wife has the duo push on her phone. So you enter the password and push the request over to her. She clicks approve or deny. This would work well in this scenario. I personally feel its over kill but if you need a barrier for yourself as well then this would be an option.

justhere31 this is a platform for talking about access to websites and not other more obviously dangerous activities. rnrnI would also very much doubt that there are lots of adults in a whole range of categories who would benefit from this. But I am sure your evidence in favour is as anecdotal as mine is against.rnrnHad you understand fully what I wrote you would see I noted there are some people who are addicts etc. but they should not be given any passwords anyway. Providing them with one and the spouse with another is meaningless. They would still have to ask permission if they did not have any password so why make it more complicated? rnrnAs for your suggestion that there would be no impact on anyone else, you are of course incorrect. Someone has to design, program and test the software and then there has to be opt in and opt out options. Then there is the redesign of the webpage etc. Then of course these people have to be paid. Your little change from one to two passwords for the small number of spouses who cannot be trusted does have an impact.rnrnHaving said that, have you thought of installing an internet filter on the actual computer itself. There are some good free ones such as K9 or paid ones such as Kidswatch. Combine this with OpenDNS and you have two systems to help prevent temptation or provide more confidence for untrusting spouses. This would also make it easier to block the use of proxies to circumvent OpenDNS.rnrn

what is rnrn? this seems to be an abbreviation created by you that I at least am unaware off(makes for a very hard read). Anyways birkita, I have already provided a possible solution for the original poster that requires no need for more programmers and spending of any kind on the part of OpenDNS. www.duosecurity.com will provided exactly what the original poster was looking for.It already exist and has an option to apply it to any login with a web-based design. Its free for the first ten systems applied too and very cheap to add more. 2FA (two factor authentication) is becoming very prevalent in today's security minded Internet users. You are right that having two passwords is pointless but having two different forms of authentication and having only one person having access to anyone of those creates for a very secure login as well as a mutually agreed changed by the network owners Home or business related. No need to argue here or pester one another, those opinions are only fr yourself. This is a place for solutions and ideas... nothing more :-)
| Edit
you are right, this is a platform about access and this is a specific thread about a SUGGESTION for whatever reason! If you have nothing positive or vaguely constructive why interrupt the thread?
I like the idea, and I assume the second password is optional. I would use it. I would give one password to my kids and the other one for the adults. I occasionally allow myself to access things I would never want my kids to know if I gave it any thought. Plus, it encourages family discussion about what constitutes inappropriate material.

If you were a (former) alcoholic you might like the idea of keeping any alcohol in the house hidden. If you have almost inhuman levels of testosterone you might welcome the idea of making it harder to access certain websites.

just make the one password a secret. as long as the other adult consents to being overseen this way there really isn't a problem. Choose a strong password and only use it yourself. Consider any changing of DNS settings as deliberate.

That is a good point (if I understood you correctly) that accountability is better than restrictions. The problem with accountability is when it can be circumvented by deleting log entries. My ideal would be for reports to get published (possibly directly to my Evernote account via email) on a regular basis so that missing reports would flag deleted records.
Jake8323 I like the duosecurity.com idea. I looked at it today but it seems pretty difficult to set up!!!
And just when you really need to lift the filter, for whatever reason, you can't get hold of the number 2. Bad idea.

How sad that an adult would be so unable to control their own actions that they would need an overseer and what kind of relationship is it that makes a partner so suspicious they need a password to prevent an action by their partner and cannot rely on trust. rnrnIf you are incapable of such a basic level of self control then you need more help than just a dual password holder. I understand there are addicts and people who will misuse certain websites but this is another reason to obtain help. Two passwords is just a crutch for the problem not a cure.rnrn
