CAFC site security

Haven't logged onto the official website for ages so had forgot my password. On using the "forgot password" option I was sent the my old password to my email address instead of having to create a new one. Now I'm not a digital security expert, but I know enough to know that a site that simply stores passwords and sends them out on request is using older and much poorer security systems. So any of you that aren't tech savvy make sure you don't use a password on the CAFC site that you use elsewhere.

    I would advise you to increase the complexity of your password, try adding a capital letter - Password1234
    no one will crack that.
