I'm trying to create an account on the Washington department of fish & wildlife's site.  (#WDFW)
They emailed me to let me know I'd set my password. And included my password. facepalm

It should be noted they have some pretty strict password requirements: 10 characters, one number, one uppercase. If you change it, it has to be "suitably dissimilar".

Way to miss the point guys.

As a reminder, passwords should never be stored anywhere. Not your database, not your email system, not my email system, and not the entire internet in between your email system and mine. G+
