Hello guys!

To be able to offer a better and customer friendly service to all of you we would like to know your opinion on using password and login included into the automated email notifications you receive from our site. We do care about your privacy and we would like to find out if you would like us to send your login details in a specific e-mail on your request or it's quite convenient for you to receive your login details in each mail. Please also specify if you prefer to use your own passwords instead of automatically generated ones.

Please, share your opinion with us so that we could improve the services. Have fun!

I think receiving login details in each e-mail may be insecure, it makes it easier for someone to find them out!

I always use my own password.

I find it very useful to have a link provided to the home page and a reminder of my user log in name.
I think the idea of including passwords is highly insecure and most people know their password is a secret thing that they should remember themselves.
After-all, if someone truly cannot recall their pass, surely they can just use password reminder to their email account (preferably with a standard security question for added security).

I personally find the automated login from an email notification really useful - if users are following basic security rules and securing their pcs or laptops then the only risks are at Easydate's end.

I agree that the automated email notifications make it too easy tho login and can be a security risk. I am using my own password but in the unlikely event of someone else accessing my computer it is a simple matter to obtain this password.
While it may be inconvenient for people logging in at frequent intervals, perhaps to check on the progress of a forum discussion, a relatively simple solution would be, as **** does, to give people the option to login for the day.
