This is not right.
I was wondering too. Can you be more specific about what's not right?
Password changes should not be sent in plain text on this email.
Fortunately the default password is hashed, but:
- this is configurable, so some wikis could have plain text passwords
- hashes are getting easier to break, with advances in cryptography
and
mass computing
- other classes could use custom unencrypted password fields
- most other places where fields are displayed hide the password (XML
export, access throught the API, the object editor...)
So, we either don't display it at all, or we display a generic
"password: this value has changed"
Right. I agree that password types should not show their values.
Thanks
