Description Lucian Adrian Grijincu 2011-01-12 00:42:50 UTC
The passwords are being sent in clear text.

For people using the same password in many places this can lead to non-trivial problems.
Comment 1 Gil Forcada 2012-01-03 23:02:22 UTC
I just filed a bug for that: #667231

Thought that your claim that non-trivial problems for reusing the password for different services is orthogonal to that: just use different passwords! ;)

Let's thank Andrea Veri :-)
