A bit concerned.

I'm sure you do everything to make sure this site is "secure." But, I had forgotten my password and requested it. I had expected a link to reset my password, or similar, but got it in plain text.
I wont criticize your coders, but as a newbish site developer I'm absolutely paranoid about security and at the very minimum it's suggested that passwords be hashed.

Should I be concerned?

So Dynadot stores password in plain text and not password hashes ?

I was more concerned with someone finding a hole in their security and getting a hold of their database. Plain text passwords would mean they could log into anyone account and possibly do something.

I let it slide though, since they haven't had any problems yet that I'm aware of. Just thought I'd ask, maybe the staff had info.
