<body><div>Also remember, the password is not only still stored insecurely, but it can also be retrieved (unless the list operator has taken special steps to eliminate this).<br></div>
<div><br></div>
<div>On the flip side, as long as you use a unique password (which you don't even need to record, since you can retrieve/reset it), the only harm is that someone might adjust your mailing list settings -- And if this happens, mailman will tell you about it. This isn't ideal, it's not a big enough real-world problem that anyone has bothered to solve it with a drop-in replacement.<br></div>

<blockquote type="cite"><div>I'm not responding in any official capacity for the list, but just a point of historical awareness. Most list-serves are using rather antiquated technology set up 20 year ago before security (and privacy) were as big a concern. Rather than transfer to new, more secure, technology, these lists persist. My recommendation, as it would be even if the password was not stored in plain-text, is to use a password that you don't use anywhere else. <br></div>

<div>You can change your password by going to "unsubscribe or edit options" on this page https://lists.eff.org/mailman/listinfo/privacybadger <br></div>
<div><br></div>
<div>You'll find an option to change your password on that page. <br></div>

<div>[PrivacyBadger] New subscriber questions<br></div>
<div><br></div>
<div><br></div>
<div> Hi,<br></div>
<div> Thanks for letting me subscribe to this mailing list. I have a question <br></div>
<div> about configuring Privacy Badger, but before asking that one, I have this <br></div>
<div> one:<br></div>
<div> How do I go about changing my mailing list password? Your subscription <br></div>
<div> dialog cleverly posted my password in the clear in its "Welcome" email, so <br></div>
<div> now I'm potentially compromised.<br></div>
<div> When I do change my password (however that is accomplished), will the <br></div>
<div> listserver again publish its new value in an email?<br></div>
<div><br></div>
<div> JL Turriff<br></div>
