As subtle as a flying brick.

Microsoft update disables user:password in URLs

With its latest security update Microsoft has disabled the ability to pass username:password pairs in URLs. If you usually use this format for connecting to your site via either FTP or HTTP, it will no longer work after you install this update.
I’m an idiot, I only read this after installing the patch. It’s habit with windows, Automatic update says “IE Flaw” you just go “oh well, more flaws”
This wasnt a flaw, this was a function, that bad people used, rather then removing the function, why not secure it?
Oh, wait, Crazy Talk!
