Hi there,
I've just signed up to your website, <name>.
I'm a web developer by trade and just noticed that you sent my password back to me by email in plain text. From a security point of view, this is a really bad idea.
As a general rule, it's best not to store any passwords in plain text or send them to the user by email.
You can read more about this at:

Hope this helps,
