Larian stated on their forum they fixed this behavior and shifted to https 3 years ago. When this was linked several times in thread, people asked OP when this screenshot occured, and OP ignored the questions. Pretty clear that this is a very old screenshot of what is now a non issue.
What's to discuss besides OP trying to stir up drama about issues that were resolved years ago?
What do you mean? It says "0 minutes ago"! Clearly it's very recent! /s
Yeah this is the internet, not lame stream media that lies to you. /r
FWIW, it's not fixed. The screen shot may very well be recent.
(The post in question was still bad reporting, though, for the reasons I detailed in my other comment here.)
Are you saying that the parent poster is giving incorrect information?
Edit: Oy, straight from their membership administration docs (emphasis mine):
Yes. mosiacmango's comment repeated what others had already said (right down to specific words that I used in the original thread and here), and then jumped to this conclusion:
Everything about that statement is false. While the circumstances made it seem likely that the screenshot was old, it was not clearly so, and in fact, it turns out the issue is still present. I checked it. A registration email from the test I ran yesterday looked just like the screenshot in question, cleartext password and all.
Given that Larian reported the issue fixed three years ago, it's possible that they fixed it locally and some time later upgraded to a new version of the forum software, thereby overwriting the local fix. Perhaps mosiacmango should have considered that before posting incorrect speculation as if it were fact.
Ouch... This should never be possible, in any world. If the password can be emailed, it can be seen. If it can be seen, it can be stolen.
It's still an interesting case to discuss and learn about. We don't ignore and forget about ww2, just because it's over, do we?!
It's disingenuous to pass off ww2 as a current event though.
