in 7 Steps to increasing email productivity by using Gmail only! on Vinny Lingham's Blog
@Vinny
When you request your 'forgotten password' or get a 'password confirmation', it's only natural to feel that it's safe tucked away in a Gmail folder - a lot of people do that (I used to myself).
But in actuality private info (of any sort) in email folders is really vulnerable - since it's not encrypted.

As great as Gmail is, you have to be careful about storing your passwords in your account (especially 10 years worth!) because Gmail isn't by nature a password manager.
I work for PassPack which is an online password manager which is specifically designed to protect your...your guessed it...passwords:

So take advantage of all the great things Gmail has to offer but choose and use a password manager!
Hope it helps!

in MySpace: Emails My Password But Says “Keep It Secret. Keep It Safe.” on Bob Caswell
Thank you. This is a question which I often ask myself. Why do I receive new/reset/ forgotten passwords by e-mail? And I think this is why people often confuse certain accounts with being ‘safe enough to store sensitive info’.
Considering it may be a bit difficult to get all the big guys to change their ways, we may have to work from the bottom up. Basically, when you get your password via e-mail, change it immediately in a safe place such as a password manager (PassPack) that generates strong and unique passwords, encrypts and then stores them in such a way that only you have access to them:

And keep in mind that re-using passwords is never a good idea.
