    Why did I receive my password in clear text to my email account?

    The email stated that my password was encrypted in your database, but sending it in clear text in an email is irresponsible.

    How is my password encrypted in your database? MD5?

    I know this is a game, but security should not be taken lightly.

    I think you don't undestand how security works.

    I don't get what you are talking about. Did you reset your password or do you mean your key? Your post is pretty vague.

    I registered an account to play SMNC, you then sent me this email:
    To the noobs responding with "you don't know security"; I do know security and work with application layer and web security on a daily basis.

    It's the other way around, you don't understand security. You never send or store passwords in clear text.

    Can't take this thread seriously with a name like that. I understand a typed password on say, password retrieval, but not on anything else.

    Please do something about this. The bottom line is that you should do something about this even though my username is sickmyduck...
