Email password not hidden

[silkie]

A few weeks ago I got a Cowon iAudio mp3 device and have been trying to get registered with their support department (I have been having trouble with the verification as my usual email service is AOL, and they are one of the services being blocked by Cowons email server).  Anyway, Hotmail is apparently ok and I used my Hotmail account to get fixed up.

What has surprised, and slightly shocked, me was that the verifying email quoted my name, Hotmail email address, and my password in full.  I have never come across this before and it has made me rather uneasy.

Am I right to be wary of this??

Any advice appreciated.

No. As far, as I remember, all verifying emails, I ever received included full password. I think, just to make sure, I didn't commit any typo.

Ok.   Thanks Broni.
