vb.org Archive - View Single Post - Email notification if someone attempts to access your Admin CP

Well I at least think it should be mentioned in the first post and the install file. I wasn't really bothered about it emailing the admin, its the fact it went through a proxy server and travelled about on the net unencrypted.

I went out of my way for vB3 to remove all cases of plain text passwords being sent over the network and I was just a bit shocked to find this out. I automatically assumed that my password was fine since i saw it clear the input boxes onsubmit as expected.

Is there a real purpose to telling them what the password is? Someone logged in with an admin username you have their IP and everything else, why does it matter if they typed in "bob" as the password.
