I just spoke on teh phone to someone there.
His answer was that yes, some people CAN see the password.

I told him it was a serious problem and he asked me to e-mail a link to this thread to the security department.
Let's see what happens.

You can't actually decrypt passwords, but if you have access to the password file, you can crack every single password on it.

What all cracking tools do, is they encrypt strings (words from dictionary, words close to it like player1, and finally strings with brute force) and compare the hashes.

Only issue is time.

Most passwords will crack in no time as they are too short and easy words.

Although weak passwords are easily cracked, you would find it very difficult to crack a 14 digit password with mixed case, digits and symbols. As in not in your lifetime difficult.

Pacific emails you a password of their choice and they will not allow you to change it. That's what I was told when I called them and asked to change my password, anyway.
