When this originally came up people were saying that, they use it as a reminder to keep using the site. But you can get the same benefit using a login link or something, no need for all the security issues.

Yep.

The email itself is actually a call to action, it's telling you your new matches. And it's actually weekly. It looked like this before:

    Remember your password is *****.

At some point the password line was just replaced with:

    http://www.pof.com is larger than all other free dating sites combined.
So they didn't even have to make it a login link.
