I just went through a website sign-up yesterday, and got my password e-mailed to me in cleartext. These anti-patterns will always exist.

  Hey, we mailed your password in cleartext. But you can trust us with your privacy and your money!

  Hacker News emails passwords in plain text :-)

    Not if you use your own OpenID.

      Pretty sure that if I use an OpenID, Hacker News still emails passwords in cleartext.
