Thinking more on this...  It might be acceptable if the initial token
triggered an email with a secondary token to gain access to the
system...  This may be too complex, or too in-depth for the average
user, though.  Either way, an unsolicited email with a link leading me
to my personal information makes me think scam/phish scheme..
