It is nothing that you can suggest or prefer. In this word it sounds
I can do if I want. You have to / you must encrypt passwords especially by
emailing to users. In the other case you can cancel the password(s) and
say to all internetusers here is a host that has all the time a
welcomeparty and hacking causes no problems.

Remember the content of emails is normaly not secured and
ascii-text. Readable for every sniffer.
