Wait till this guy figures out that T-Mobile also stores his password in plain text.

Anyone know if this is just the US T-Mobile site or do all the Deutsche Telekom properties do this?

[antimatter15]

I wonder if it's a bad idea to disclaim that you store passwords in plain text (when you actually use PBKDF2 or something) to trick users into making more secure passwords.

The type of users that use insecure passwords probably don't care about or understand the implications of plain text passwords.

It'd be terrible PR though

[jonursenbach]

Personally, that'd steer me away.

[shawabawa3]

Why would I bother making a secure password if it's stored in plaintext anyway?

[duaneb]

I would just switch carriers.
