Ya know what's actually even more absurd? The password was truncated on creation. The webpage allowed me to type 36 characters into the field, then only saved the first 30 of them.

I verified the full 36 character password before creating the account, and was immediately met with "wrong password." Noticed the 30 character limit when looking at the password change form, and tried cutting the last 6 characters off my existing password, which unfortunately was successful.

They must have been storing your password in plaintext on their end in order for that to work.

So not only did somebody forget a maxlength=30 on the field, but their validation on the server side was also crap. Genius!
