Re: User Editor Page and clear text passwords

So I tried to get into your page, but got a "Permission denied" error.

It seems there are more safety measures than meet the ordinary Monk's eye. Unless you are already logged in, you cannot access the "edit your profile" page and hence you cannot see someone else's password.

Yes, there is (protection). But if there's a way of fooling you to load your own preference page and then submit a form.. Also, if someone just hard-core breaks in, then it's a worse of position, as all user names have been compromised, inform, how many people that their password has been compromised?
