"You may enter a privacy password below. This provides only mild security, but should prevent others from messing with your subscription. Do not use a valuable password as it will occasionally be emailed back to you in cleartext."

You can always request a mail-back of your password when you edit your personal options. Once a month, your password will be emailed to you as a reminder."

implementations of network services. The hitchhikers guide does not
discuss these issues (too bad).
