You have to be conscious on the internet, that's the moral here. I have stopped using websites that sent me my password in plain text, unless I just don't care about the account. If the developers aren't savvy enough to know how to protect their users, I lose confidence in them.

- jmillikin 17y agoWireless encryption only protects your packets until they reach a router. After that, it's just as (in)secure as a wired connection.
