Password sent in registration email!

Post by StormForge »

:o :o :o

Please don't send people's passwords to them in the
registration email... Now all those email snoopers out
there know my password! If email is sent in the clear,
you can virtually assume someone is reading it -- especially
if it contains the word "password".

Thanks!

You might want to make sure that your aluminum-foil cap is on tight. They can sniff out your password even easier directly from your brain.

That said... This is in the end, a message board. The worst thing that could happen would be that someone posts as you and maybe locks you out of your account. Is that really that big a deal? If you're using the same password for 'public' sites like this as you're using for anything that needs to be secure then you need to reevaluate your password security procedures.

He may be abit nervous because he may have the same password for everything!

However, parhaps you should use a different password for bullitin boards...as its not going to be aweful if someone finds this one out?
