Maybe it is better to really read the messages before complaining 
Just saying...
enum HumanBool { Yes, No, Maybe, Perhaps, Probably, ProbablyNot, MostLikely, MostUnlikely, HellYes, HellNo, Wtf }

Your enum seems to be missing a sensible default value: IllGetBackToYouOnThat
And we all know that means the exact opposite

We have an expression for that: tossing the dust under the carpet
enum HumanBool { Yes, No, Maybe, Perhaps, Probably, ProbablyNot, MostLikely, MostUnlikely, HellYes, HellNo, Wtf }

The OP DID read through the email quickly. It just so happened that the random new password was the SAME password as OP's original password.

Like anyone else with and degree of competence, your password is stored as a hash of the original and cannot be recovered.
Even if a site stored your password encrypted (not hashed), it is best to consider it totally insecure.

I hope it is salted and hashed.

Salted,hashed,and I think it is time-limited as well.

The OTP may be time-limited, but I don't think the real password is. I haven't changed mine in over four years.

If you were resetting your password, presumably you'd forgotten your password. If you'd forgotten it, how do you know they emailed it to you? Maybe it was a different password? Your assertion does not make logical sense.. And, even if they did email you your actual password, how do you know it had been stored in "plain text"? It may have been encrypted, and decrypted only for the purpose of sending it to you. You have no way of deducing, simply from the emailed password, whether it was held in plain text or encrypted. (True, even encrypted isn't great; as others on this thread pointed out, hashed + salted is more secure).

Same thing as plain text with a false assurance of security. "Thou passwords shall not travel on thy network, nor be retrievable should the server be compromised" the Commandment says.

Now that's something for sll the Trekkies. First contact initiated by breaking a fart. I can't blame them if they have carefully studied our radio transmissions. What would you do when you see those guys coming who first say that they come in peace and then send you Death Stars and Terminators?
Edit: What? We don't have a Death Star? Then who parked this thing[^] at Saturn?

I've watched some of his other videos and that cat puts up with so much sh*t it's hilarious
My cat gets scared when anything is slightly less as it should be, like when I move the couch just a cm, when the doorbell rings (she even goes all the way from the backyard to the attic for safety), or when she's laying in an unusual spot and I try to pet her

Goedzo has the same problem, with one exception to the rule; he's taking a liking to my parents' dog. The dog will sleep on the bed, with the cat under the bed, exactly in the same spot.

Our cat is not as patient. Always moving around, except when she is sleeping.
