I'm truly excited to try your service. I did quite a bit of research on the topic of
“subscription-services for your sex life,” and you guys seem to be winning the game by quite a bit.
None of that bachelorette-party grab-bag bullshit.
That said: I'm, myself, a software-developer and internet professional; and there is *no* faux-pas
greater than including my password, *in plain-text*, in an e-mail to me. Not only does this
demonstrate that you're *storing* my password in your system in plain-text, which is horrible
enough, but it also implies you don't worry, or care, about what *happens* to the secure data I've
stored with you.
You're selling a (nominally) discrete service, for discerning adults. Please respect our privacy and
security. I do hope, after receiving this e-mail, you'll do a little research on the *most basic* of
security procedures when running a webservice, and at the very least, that you will *immediately*
get the ball rolling on hashing out and salting your user's passwords.
Meanwhile, I need to go change my password in your system, given that I now know it's exposed … and
hope that you don't automatically e-mail me, in plain-text, about the change. (=
