OP finds vulnerability where a forum sends you your password in plaintext over email and everyone misses the forest for the trees (lemmy.world)

This thread is frustrating. Everyone seems more interested in nitpicking the specifics of what OP is saying and are ignoring that a forum sends you your password (not an automatically generated one) in an email on registration.

I see it as a non issue because Larian has a previous post up, in a timeframe window of acceptable lack of visible action, about them finding a solution to that problem.

If nothing has been announced in a month or so, then it starts becoming a problem again.
