Each account has an associated '''weak authenticator''', much like a [[weak account key]]. Someone who has your weak authenticator can attach computers to your account, but can't log in to your account or to change it in any way.<br><br />
This is useful if you need to install BOINC on public computers, or if you want to let someone compute on your behalf without giving them access to your account.<br><br />
<br><br />
Your weak authenticator is a function of your password. If you change your password, your weak authenticator changes, and the previous weak authenticator becomes invalid.<br><br />
