Jason: In order to make your password secure, it is never e-mailed or shown to you [and nobody else]. Not even I know your password because all passwords are encrypted in the database and the encryption is asynchronous, it means that it's not possible to decrypt it.
When you request a password change [on Login Page], you'll be provided a URL containing a secret code. The URL points to a page which is temporarily created for you only and you can set a new password there. The secret code is always different and unique.
