i guess they cover the bases by asking for the future password to get that out of the way

......and while they are at it, they should ask for your I.P. Number, Your Road Runner account number, and if use your email account to do bank transactions.

It's totally insane, naive internet users will give out this information and believe anything that is stated in email.
