I just created an account at an online store and immediately received a confirmation email including my username and password in plain text!
Right away I lowered my expectations on privacy, support and quality.
@gr36 The GDPR only considers how personal data is stored. I don’t think there is any mention of how to communicate a password…
@jeroensangers that’s an instant account deletion anytime I see that, which fortunately has been ages since I last did.
@pimoore I prefer to wait until my order has arrived (since of course I did not see this while I created my account to place the order).
@jeroensangers hopefully their payment system isn’t a security red flag that their account management is.
@pimoore No, they use an external payment processor using the default interface of my bank. As far as I can tell, they don’t have access to my credit card information.
@jeroensangers If it goes through your bank system I wouldn’t think they’d have access to the card info, as it’s likely just doing a handoff of their account information to your bank to do a funds transfer back.
