One-time password killswitch

I'd like to see a killswitch for destroying given sets of 100 randomly generated passwords functionality in the Alternative Login screens.

I know that using them requires the Base Password, however, it would be good security practice to have a killswitch for given password sets that a user has created. If a Base Password gets out, then you have potentially 100 active passwords that can be used?

Another way of stating this: give more control over enabling/disabling generated password sets.

There is a "Del" button on the far right of each alternative password. Clicking it, guess what, deletes the set.

BTW: i'll give up on your questions, you're hard to keep up with

You know what, I didn't know that there was. I never created a set because I wasn't sure if there'd be a way to destroy them and didn't want to risk a set "hanging out there".

The only possible improvement I can think of would be to simply let users know they have control over the sets in the interface itself prior to creating the first.

Thanks for your answers. Very helpful!
