Sending user passwords in the clear

[eluser]Xeoncross[/eluser]
I would never store encrypted passwords, much less plain text, in my database. I hope no-one else would either. I meant that upon first registering I send a "confirmation" email with this user data. Many sites seem to do this so that the user is A) reminded of their new account and B) has a copy of their username/email and optionally password in case they forget tomorrow when they try to login for the second time.

And of course I also provide a complete "forgot password?" setup for people that still can't remember (or delete the email).
