A quick warning to any of you Parallels Desktop users out there. If you have an account with parallels, you may want to use a different password to your normal every-dayer because Parallels are more than happy to send you a plain text reminder on demand.
Here is the process which lead to my plain text password being sent (we’ve verified this by checking with a second account in the office now, so this isn’t a one off fluke!)
1) I was an old P4 users upgrading to P5.
2) I used the upgrade path link from the UK store. At the checkout phase requested the password from my P4 account.
3) The password reset page displays an error (Shown below)
4) Your plain text password arrives! (Email below)
We’ve contacted Parallels regarding this issue and will update you with any comment they make on the matter.
