Answers.Text: Hey there Catorghans, https://civicrm.org/civicrm/user?reset=1 is visitor facing so is a valid candidate for a checksum. Maybe you thought I was thinking about https://civicrm.org/civicrm/dashboard?reset=1 which is a backend screen (confusing terminology of CiviCRM's part, I agree).

Answers.Text: Though it is kind of irrelevant since as far as I can tell, checksum has not been enabled for that 'form'. Just thought it was worth mentioning the above because there is no reason why it shouldn't be added.

Answers.Text: michael - totally agree - dashboard - and things that one should then be able to do from there - like 'update my recurring payment' should be accessible via a checksum - any chance you made a start on anything?

  Checksums can only be used for visitor facing forms like event registration, membership sign up or profile forms. If you have drupal as frontend you can also use it in the webform module. It is not usable for backend screens.
