    Is it me.......Or

    Is it me or did neo change the way the do passwords and what not



    .......if you go to request the pass at the bottom of the page it says its invalid and basically they arnt sending the old passwords any more


    I guess they are only having you reset them now


    You also get an email after you change it telling you there is a new pass

    That's how it's been for a while. But I don't know how it stops anything. Except I get to pick the pw I want now.

    Really Okay, I feel that maybe I missed out on that, because the last couple of times ive requested my password on my account it has come back the old way but it happened the new way this time which was super confusing

    It's a practice that is so unsecure compared to what the standards are today.. they should have stopped sending out plaintext passwords 10 YEARS ago.

    Image to them is everything. Like denying that they've been hacked more than once.
    I find in myself desires which nothing in this world can satisfy,
