FYI - This is from another web site:



Please be advised that on some sites, the owner and moderators may have access to your password (this is not the case on AR).

We just had a case of a Member's account being hijacked in order to post false information. He had registered on an obscure talk forum using the same username and password as on AR.

Not here, though. You have to be an admin to reset a password, and even then, can't see the old one (if memory serves). So the moderators can't update member information, only Marshall or Alex can.

Good grief.... doesn't say much for the people who run other sites that they would pass out member information?

One thing, lots of people just use the same password for everything, and it sometimes isn't too hard to guess if you know the person well. That's another way for security to get compromised.
