I just got sent an email after registering an account at a webshop which contained my username and password.. *sigh*

Does it ask you to immediately change password during first login?
If yes, nothing wrong here.

@NoToJavaScript typically, when you register an account, it's with a password.

I assume your talking about a one-time passwords, which would be super strange as a registration mechanism. Password recovery or account lockout, sure, but registration? Would be weird imo.

@wannabe Office 365 uses it.
When you add a new user to your company, you have a choice to send them email or define it yourself.
It is not the best way (I like the link where user can finish registration), but it is not necessarily bad or not secure.

@NoToJavaScript that make sense because you're creating an account for someone else not for yourself.

@vorticalbox Yes, exactly.
When you create your own account, I agree, you shouldn’t receive your own password by mail

@sbiewald That's the first thing I did!

@NoToJavaScript Nope, they really just sent me the password I used for registration.

That sigh is familiar to me. Each day we grow further and further from the light of god.

@saucyatom
Would you join us on a real life devrant meeting near Düsseldorf / Cologne?

@saucyatom
Also : your rant is from 02/26/2020
*sigh*

@scor Generally I'd be interested, but currently we have a pandemic going on, so...

@saucyatom
I can assure we'd meet post pandemy.
