Insecure Forum Passwords

Message Rating: Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

Hello all you hard working Illyriad technical people!

I just registered for the forums, and I noticed in my registration email it included a plain text copy of my forum password.

Might I (very) humbly suggest that sending new users a plain text copy of the password they just entered when registering for the forum is both unnecessary and very insecure!

Thanks for having the forums up so we can give you this kind of constructive feedback!

Cheers,

Edited: I just added my signature graphic! Nice touch to have updating graphics for our forum posts!
