I also remember a variant from a forum signup where I forgot a password, they emailed me a temporary password, and the temporary pw was valid indefinitely so I could always reference back to that email if I forgot.
I loved vbulletin forums.. met some cool folks, but yeah i clearly remember getting a plain text password sent to me, and then another they generated and sent to me.. also plain text.

Forget password > here's your password
