Just heard back from Camp BX. Issue resolved. Another win for Camp BX. Thanks! 
I've been waiting for 48 hours on a support response of any kind. How long do they usually take?
I would like to clarify that this was never a security risk as the password goes to the original registered email address, and not displayed on screen.
The fact is that a programmer implemented the password reset incorrectly. Whoever was writing the code should have known better - this points to a management problem. It's a rookie mistake.
If a visible rookie mistake like this is possible at CampBX, who knows what other invisible mistakes were made?
For a company that tries to position itself as a "Trusted Bitcoin Platform", I find these facts disturbing:
- Anyone can reset anyone else's password by knowing their user name
- The "change password" form only has one field for "New Password" instead of two, allowing for user error.
- Anyone can reset anyone else's password by knowing their user name
- The "change password" form only has one field for "New Password" instead of two, allowing for user error.
Hi Bigg,
I would like to clarify that this was never a security risk as the password goes to the original registered email address, and not displayed on screen. Worst case scenario is that someone with too much time on their hands can annoy you with repeat password resets.
Point noted though - we are reworking the PW reset code to be annoyance-proof and will deploy the update shortly.

Really? So not only do you have to keep your password super secret you have to keep your username super extra mega secret?
Wow...just .... wow...
These guys were on "the bitcoin show" ....
No wonder...
I've used Camp BX a few times. It was quick and easy. Thanks Camp BX! 
I asked for this, they said it is not available currently though soon it should be. Does anyone have this working?
Are you outside the U.S.?

They have two-factor authentication (using SMS text messaging).

Uh, I think rewording 'scam' to sloppy would be better in this case.
CampBX is a sloppy?
Oops, forgot about the a. Make it rewording 'a scam' to 'sloppy' instead.

EVERYONE IS A SCAM. 
That doesn't make it a scam...
You shouldn't call it a scam based on merely bad security practice.
