Ask HN: Should we name and shame companies that send passwords in emails?

1 点作者 bbody大约 10 年前
I recently signed up to a website and they sent me the password I signed up with back in a confirmation email to me.<p>It isn&#x27;t the first time I&#x27;ve seen this, however this website seemed quite legit. I didn&#x27;t use my normal password but I came close to, so I am angry. Not only this, but the confirmation email was CC&#x27;d to some Gmail address.<p>It seems that in 2015 sending plaintext passwords back to people shouldn&#x27;t be happening. Should we name and shame websites that do this?<p>Edit: Added in fact the email was forwarded to someones Gmail address.
