Did you happen to click the link? What happened?

Your password is not going to be in the e-mail, the e-mail sends you a
link that you can follow to get your password.

First, I didn't know about this site until very recently, it's not bad :)

I don't recall ever signing up...?

when signing up for a new account it said that my e-mail address was taken, so i went to the lost password page and asked for a new password.  the link that was sent (instantaneously, very nice), however, didn't have a password on it.

anyone have a similar experience?

thanks,

Hello THUFIR HAWAT,

A web user from 24.84.131.197 has just requested a new password for
your account at The Fedora Community Portal.
You can get your new password by clicking on the link below:

If you didn't ask for this, don't worry. Just delete this Email.

----------- The Fedora Community Portal (http://fcp.homelinux.org/) webmaster webmaster@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Yes, I certainly did. Guess what. The standard response that Thufir received came back ( without password, again). I have responded to the webmaster this afternoon to complain about the obvious bug in the site's password checking routine, but have not yet had a response.
