    ...that sent me a confirmation mail with my credentials, with the password in plain text. :wtf: I deleted my account. (And yes, they might have put the mail together before hashing and storing the password, but ... meeeh, I do not trust them. This is 1995 state-of-the-art anyway. ).

      Sites like that will force you to change password the first time you log on. (not saying it's a good idea, but I've seen it many times).

        How can you be sure that is was your password? Perhaps it belongs to another user with the same password... even more concerning :~

          That’s a little far fetched don’t you think? In this day and age where a password has to have upper and lower case, numbers and special characters what are the odds of somebody else using ‘Password1*’ as their password too?!?!?

          If you can't laugh at yourself - ask me and I will do it for you.
