[support] Trying to create an account on drupal.org

[Super G]

Oops! I didn't realize that that field was the password hash.

The hash must correspond to the automatically-generated password, 
because users cannot set their own password until they successful log 
in. So no security risk, but thanks for the tip.

P.S. The problem has been fixed.
