RE: Transfer confirmation "password" terminology is confusing

Well, we thought about that... but the only way to verify the auth_code for
an incoming transfer is to actually TRY the transfer.

So, if we use the auth-code for the transfer password; the only option is to
accept the transfer. We needed to give them the ability to accept/cancel,
so an extra step was needed.

  Why require both for .info and .biz?

  If the auth info code is considered proof of ownership, why not let that
take the place of the transfer password?

      A while back, Chuck had mentioned that OpenSRS would perhaps try to
      change the wording of the transfer confirmation approval code from
      "password" to something else to avoid confusion:

    This will be difficult with info/biz
    If you f.ex. use 'transfer confimation code'
    users will be confused with 'authorisation code'
    (already probably most users are confused with 'authorisation code'.

    I would suggest something like
    'Special transfer password' instead of another 'code'
