Holy fuck, I just signed up to a site and it sent me a confirmation message WITH MY PASSWORD IN PLAIN TEXT.

Not an automatically generated one but the supposedly secure one I am meant to use to sign in!

@franksting yeah in the early 2000s?

@purserj @franksting with credit card numbers too, to the merchant, because payment gateways weren’t really a thing yet

Awww they've "disabled" the right click button as well.

And in no way surprising, it's a WP site.

Whelp, I'll be cancelling my account and sending an email I think.

Oh, no I won't. There doesn't seem to be a way to

a) Delete my account
b) Change my password

Okay, polite but firm email sent.

I haven't mentioned the site because it appears to have been put together by a hobbyist so I'm not going shame them publicly.

But ye gods
