Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Password notification e-mail is a common technique used by websites. If a user forgets their password then a password notification e-mail is sent containing enough information for the user to access their account again. This method of password retrieval relies on the assumption that only the legitimate owner of the account has access to the inbox for that particular e-mail address.The process is often initiated by the user clicking on a forgotten password link on the website where, after entering their username or e-mail address, the password notification e-mail would be automatically sent to the inbox of the account holder. Some websites, such as Dating Direct, allow the user to choose to include the password in every e-mail sent from the website. This has the problem that all of the e-mails received must be treated with the same security as a password notification e-mail.
