I needed to reset my password because my session became invalid. I noticed that the password was entered as clear text in the reset page. Also, when the reset was done, the new password was displayed on the page. This is ok if I am using my own computer. But there might be cases where I'm using a public computer and someone is standing behind me or overlooking what I'm doing...

Thanks for your suggestion.

i changed the reset function according to your post.

Passwords were not shown as plaintext on the site anymore.
After resetting you will get another email with your current password as plaintext.
