    Hi
    I just registered as a new user on the xtUML forums. I received an email confirming my registration with my password included in plain text. This is a security risk which should be addressed!

    We try to keep access to forum simple including access. The password is mostly meant to block spam robots. Users do not have data to protect stored on the forum.

    All the same, it’s worth removing the password from the email if possible – it’s just another attack vector!
