gamesas account information:username/password in cleartex

Post » Wed Nov 30, 2011 4:06 pm

I registered today, going through the process of creating a username and password on your website, including the neat red-yellow-green colored password-validation check.

To finish the process, you sent me an automated email with a JSON-style activation link and my username and password IN CLEARTEXT.

This is very unprofessional.

Never send user passwords in cleartext format! This is so 1980s and does not raise my confidence in the privacy and user anonymity claims you write about in your Terms of Service, when you collect user data for God knows what kind of purposes.
