Re^2: PerlMonks Certificate Expired

At last check, passwords are still being stored in plain text here which is how they're able to send it to you if you forget it. Anyone worth worrying about would target the PM backend and leak all the passwords again not target individuals with mitm attacks.

If this posts twice, it's because Chrome is making me submit everything a second time after verifying I still know the certificate is expired.

That's why I - and IMHO everyone else should - use an automatically generated password here. Whenever I forget it or need it for another browser I just check my emails searching for lanx and vroom. Your email account becomes your last line of defense ... update But most sites which allow resetting your password ultimately rely on the security of your email account.
