That's exactly what we're doing - MAL reminded me we reached the same conclusion last time this came up, we'll just track it better this time to make sure it doesn't slip through the cracks again. (And yes, switching to forced HTTPS once this is addressed would also be a good idea - we'll add it to the list)

I just switched from a 'low variety' short password of the sort almost crackable with brute force (today, though not several years ago) to a higher variety longer password. People with admin privileges on the tracker might be reminded to recheck. What was adequate 10 years ago is not so now.
