Resident Evil: Apparently the passwords are encrypted, so, it takes a long time for even an admin like TMyApp to decrypt it, right? I thought about that already, and dropped the idea. It was such a good one too.
It would take the longest time to make a function that would recognize an email address, or an answer to a hint, yep, it would have to do one of these, or else, anyone could get into your account, and then decrypt the password from the database, then send it to the email address. Everyone would have to register again puting in email and/or a hint.
This is why TMyApp said dont forget your passwords, and dont send me emails about this. They will just be deleted.

Remember?
