Not going to happen in Joomla core. I would put money on it. I propose this is closed.

@PhilETaylor I don't see why not, in our day and age; it's a logical progression. The internet is being used by companies and government to track you, so the people should respond by protecting themselves, their data and their habits. I don't want to live in a world where someone can peruse my email and know everything about me. These 10 codes can be split-up and placed on different devices under a pseudonym for the site. The site apache server can be configured to keep no LOGs, and hence NO IP data; and poof! You have a server ready to host Occupy Wall-Street and other such forums, IM(UDDEim) and information sharing without any repercussions. Or being worried of becoming the target of a "random" IRS audit as we've already seen as possible.

Then I suggest you dont use the internet - period.

Or I suggest you go find a CMS that is not Joomla...

@PhilETaylor Wow, I don't know what to say. I'm not requesting it be a mandatory config, just a possible optional one. To tell people to basically "get lost" or "kick rocks" is so unbecoming for an open-source proponent. Are you currently intoxicated or something?

As I never touch alcohol, I am not intoxicated, nor will I put up with personal abuse from those demanding a project do what they want.

What you are asking for is not found in any open source CMS out there today, and is not in the roadmap, aims or objectives of the Joomla CMS.

What you are asking for serves no purpose for the general market that Joomla is aimed at.

Furthermore if you think that just by disabling logs in apache is going to stop your IP address being logged then you are wrong. Just to get to your server you hop over 5-10 other servers that sure as hell will be logging you.

IMHO if you want this, then you should implement your own custom authentication layer to Joomla - which I think you might easier than you think. I dont believe it has mass appeal or would be a good feature for a mass market, low-barrier-to-entry, CMS like Joomla.

@fbc I fully understand what you mean but I just dont see how this is going to be useful for a mass market application such as Joomla. Your requirement is very specialised and I am sorry to say that I just dont see anyone spending to the time to create this customisation.

I am closing this issue at this time. It can always be re-opened if there is anyone who has some code to contribute which can be evaluated

Furthermore with a correctly configured Joomla site, you can use a fake email address at a localhost domain name, and bingo you have what you want out of the box with Joomla 3.6.0 today!

@PhilETaylor @brianteeman You guys are right in the sense that it does not serve the mass-market. @PhilETaylor Yes, the email at localhost works, however, there is no recovery mechanism. Furthermore, I was not trying to abuse you, I was just caught off guard by that response. I apologize if you took offense to it. I did not realize that it fed into some stereo-type.
