@bobcockayne I registered at the site you mentioned it the first time (to use the app) and I’m highly suggesting that people keep it separate from any important data. Why am I so worried about that site? Because after registering I got an email confirming me having registered. That’s all fine and good but the Email also included:

  • Username
  • Passwort
  • Security question
  • Answer to the question

All in plain text and in an unencrypted mail. Such a lack of security is so bad that I immediately deleted my account and notified the owners. They answered, thanked me for bringing this up and expressed understanding that I wouldn’t want to be part of that under these circumstances. So please, if you use that app and website, don’t re-use passwords and usernames you use on other sites.

To end on a positive note: nice to read about your mini weekend. Are there pictures to be shared? 😉
