I have a question regarding this, I have had to send myself a password 
reminder then remembered my password, now it seems that the main 
password stays active when sending a password reminder.  So my questions 
are:

1. does the alt. password that was sent to you stay active indefinately 
as well?


2. If so isn't that a huge security risk?
