Fascinating. Yes that does solve the problem, and most importantly doesn't send the hash (unlike what the commenter I was responding to was suggesting, which continues to horrify me).

Most interestingly, it solves the problem where the server may not be trusted. I see how this would have protected against the Facebook problem.

I'm curious, have any major websites you're aware of adopted SCRAM as a best security practice? It feels kind of like overkill, since generally the server is considered to be trusted... but at the same time, it would definitely prevent accidental logging.

I have not heard of any website using SCRAM, but recent versions of PostgreSQL use it for password authentication.
