Dear Alan,
Putting the encrypted password would log you in. You can then change your password and other details. The reason why it's not cleartext is mentioned on the UserPreferences page: "...if someone intercepts the mail, he won't know your REAL password".
How bizzare and completely different from every other wiki i have ever used. Also how is this in any way more secure? If someone intercepts my mail they can logon with my encrypted password in the same way I might, and change my password? It's not a big deal, just odd. Cheers, Al.
