Default Password visible on mersenne.org

Hi,
I've just joined GIMPS so apologies if I have done something stupid here! And I don't know where else to post this.

But it seems my mersenne.org logon password is clearly visible online, under where it says "CPU Name".

Screenshot attached showing my password (most of it blanked it for obvious reasons!).

Location:
1) mersenne.org > account team/info > my account > summary > Show detailed stats for my account
2) Scroll down to 'Computers' and it's under 'CPU name'.


Thanks.

Default Password visible #2

Sorry - I did do something stupid!
I must have pasted my password where it said 'public display name' when creating my account!
I've changed it, so all good :) Thanks.

Is there any chance you used the same string for both your PW and your computer name?

I just did the drill-down you stated on my account, and my password is not revealed. (But I do have multiple machines, so possibly this is a bug which manifests when only one machine is tied to the account.)
