I use a password manager with a random password generator. It's always disconcerting when I find a website that finds my passwords to be too complicated. Like "you can't use more than eight characters and the only special characters you can use are @ and !". What the shit?!?
We have a system that mails your password if you change it. It's just for internal users, but still.
That means those suckers are either stored plaintext or stored with decryption key that is somewhere within the server. Yeesh.
"if you change it". It might send the email before storing it as a salted hash in the DB. Unlikely, but possible.
