Hi All,
We're upgrading software, had a bit of a security hole, and may require you to reset your password to log back in. Sorry for the hassle!
Thanks,

My new password is much easier to remember:
)nEzQJgMtro0Ha! You can reset it to whatever you like. Click on your username either next to your avatar or up at the very top of the page and click "edit" to enter a new password.
(I'm hoping you've actually already done this before displaying that generated password.)
;)

I'm an admin on a car board and I can search the password field in the member database. It's surprising how many use the name of the manufaturer or a model name as their passwords.Shouldn't those be stored as salted hash values? shame shame!
Yes, hash is always better when properly salted..
(Yes, yes, I know. And I'm sorry.)

That board is on vBulletin 2.2.8, way out of date.
When I look at individual member profiles, the password field is blank, but in the member search page I can populate the password field and see how many users have that string of characters in their passwords.
In the IT world, I've heard a few stories about "white hat" security experts who raise hell just to demonstrate a system's vulnerabilities. Stuff like touring the control room and while no one is looking, going to the admin console and creating a new admin-level user for later attacks.
I've got to stop this, I'm getting Active Directory flashbacks, someone save me! I'm back in a domain of trees and forests... look at the MOSS...
