This is not true, I still have my e-mail with the password from the
day that I joined seti in 1999.
It was a short e-mail but none the less it contained my password. It
looked like this:

Your SETI@home web site password is XXXXXXXXXX.

I can't remember if it was send to me automatically or that I
requested it to edit my profile, but none the less the passwords
existed.

I joined in June '99 and I don't remember if the password was automatically
sent out or not, I suspect it was however. I have a had a few PCs since then
and didn't have a record of it so have requested it be sent out on
occaision. I now have it on CDR, with a lot of my other data, as well as in
an encrypted folder on my HDD with all my passwords.
