Better-security alternatives to Spam Arrest

September 8, 2012 10:19 AM

What's a better-security alternative to Spam Arrest for challenge-response email? I received a password reminder email from Spam Arrest today. It included my full password in cleartext, and when I went to change my password to a long semi-random string of hashed characters I discovered that they silently truncate entries to 20 characters, which would have locked me out if they didn't keep everything in the clear to remind me. Frightening. Is there anyone out there who offer C/R email and knows how to store passwords?

Response by poster: Thanks, kalessin. I may give that a try though I’m not excited about the idea of supporting Google.

Microsoft's new Outlook.com webmail apparently has some good security features. Might be worth trying.
