What a horribly wrong comment.

First off, nobody chooses their domain registrar because it provides plain text lost passwords instead of something more secure. That is such a silly claim that I would hope you don't actually believe it. However, people will certainly leave a domain registrar based on an insecure password policy. This is especially true of the people who frequent domain registrar services.

Second, you claim the market is failing. It's doing exactly the opposite. You are commenting on a widely read post with hundreds of comments and many thousands of views that is in the process of putting a black mark on this stupid company as we speak. They will get a nontrivial number of emails and cancellations referring to this post, and I guarantee they change their policy within the month. This is exactly how the market is supposed to work.
