Lack of interest Text message forgotten temporary password

[Fufu]

I know some users need to have double emails to forget their passwords, but I find it more convenient if a temporary password would be sent to you mobile device if one ever forgotten their password and cannot access their email or it has been ages since ever logging in.

Who would pay for the SMS ?

If a facebook application can send free Txts i'm sure theres a way to do it for free, even if you have to post to earn txt points. Good idea. http://apps.facebook.com/sms-service/?ref=bookmarks

While it is a good idea, it's highly impractical. SMS has to be paid for somehow, right? This would be best as an add on and probably not for the core.

Some services (such as Verizon Wireless in the USA) auto-create emails (412------0@vtext.com is mine with my actual number) for each number that works as a text (auto-supported on all phones). This way is paid for via the user.
