Would you trust a site that did this?

The main problem is not that they are sending out the info by email, the problem is that they are obviously storing passwords unencrypted!

They might be storing the passwords encrypted, you don't know. I think the word you meant was hash. They aren't hashing passwords.

1-2-3 reg did that to me when I set up a domain name / email account a few weeks ago.
Massively complicated password requirements, then they go ond send me a confirmation email with the password in plain text.
****ing muppets!

Plenty of places send them in the original registration email, not great but I don't see the difference.

This annoys the hell out of me.

And as long as they've made a temporary password, ie that's not your original password. I don't see the issue.
Had to do similar before when reset password hasn't worked. They've emailed me a temporary password, login and change it.

I do my best to use keepass to get me a random password for any entries I add, but I must confess I have been a bit lazy about changing retrospective passwords

Apparently it would take 157 Billion years to crack my standard password... and 35 sextillion (Apparently that's a word) to crack my password I use for secure stuff...

I really hate it when sites send my passwords back in plain text (this is why I use different passwords

)

According to How Secure Is My Password?, my OcUK password would also take 35 sextillion years to crack. :eek:
