I am living in a student housing in UK.

Today, I was suddenly asked to put in my log in credentials for the internet service and because I forgot the credentials, I went to find my password section.

Guess what... an ISP... storing password as

PLAINTEXT!



The blacked out section after

"You password is:"

is not a temporary password... it actually is the full, existing password that I entered at sign up..

Is there any way to report this and force them to encrypt their passwords?
