 Description   

When I signed to Atlassian, I got this message:
"You have successfully signed up. If you forget your password, you can have it emailed to you."

IF Atlassian can email me my forgotten password :

It means Atlassian is storing my password in clear text:

  • Be aware of not re-using a password here
  • Should Atlassian be compromized, all account passwords could be exposed

Thanks,

This was only a missleading message from the signup.

Oups and glad to see it is only a password reset and not my password emailed to me.

This is not a Minecraft bug - however I did just test for the sake of curiosity. They do not email your password, merely a link so you can reset the password. Please use the contact admins form in future.
