I just had to share this snippet from an e-mail I got.

I am not quite sure how they think that my privacy is assured when they are sending my user name and password in an unencrypted e-mail and anyone who can get it can then log in as me and see everything in my profile. I was especially surprised as the company that sent this is a "reputable survey company" and I signed up with them because they were running a survey for Microsoft and I felt that I had an opinion that should be heard. I am considering opting out of their service since they don't seem to know the implications of their e-mail.

Once again we see a case where username/password for login is not a good idea. On the plus side since I am using a program to store my password the one they sent out is unique to their site so I don't have to worry about someone getting into another account with the information. I am hoping for the day when I can start using my information card to log in to web sites like these so they won't feel the need to send me my user name and password.
