I hope you don't think your mailing list subscription password was ever secret? When you signed up you were told it wouldn't be.

Saints forbid you used it as a secret password anywhere else!

Would it be better if we called it a "subscription key" instead of a "password"?

I think the point was that between November and December last year the password reminder changed from sending the password in clear text to printing only ****. It's rather pointless to send a "password reminder" with an obfuscated password. :)
