However, it's not as tough as you might think. For example, if my site required the user to log in with their account, then I would more than likely have access to their password (or at least a hash of that password). I could use that as the user's secret. And since they would have to be authenticated into my site to use the code generation page, I don't have to worry about people sharing URLs. :-) Yes, you are correct that you’d have to secure your code generation mechanism.
