When I have to email a password, I send one email saying the next I
send contains the password.

Or I will send the password, and then a 2nd email that explains the first email

Either way, both email messages would have to be captured to make any
sense. What kind of exposure does that give you?

I would also, depending on the circumstances, require the remote user
to change their password at the first sign on. That would make the
exposure a lot less.

What kind of risk do we take if I email an iSeries password to a remote user using my Microsoft Outlook client? Is this forbidden by any standards being that it's clear text?
