Lavabit is asking account holders to log in over IMAP or POP, so their encrypted passwords, usernames, and keys can be regenerated under the new architecture.

While I believe this is a legitimate effort, the skeptic in me is saying, “That’s exactly what a three-letter-agency would do to entice people into revealing all that.”
