      My password was just emailed to me. Big shame on you for saving passwords in plain text. This should not be done and I hope it's changed very soon.

        Hi, what do you mean exactly, could you be a bit more clear.

          @farmer-joa_nl Hi, welcome.
          It seems that you don't really understand how things work.
          Passwords are encrypted on database, but since managers need to request passwords and need to be able to read them it will be send in text at the moment they request it.

            The OP is absolutely correct. This is a huge security blooper! Never send out passwords in plain text in emails!

              @obfuscator Well the first company that sent the passwords encrypted I still have to meet.
