I have a delicious account, i had kept auto login feature for it on my office computer.But when i tried to access my delicious account from my home desktop,then i realized that i had forgotten my password.So i thought of changing its password by going to link, i forgot my password, which will send the mail to my email account which i had registered while signing up.
Its has been long time since i created my delicious account , the email id that i gave was too older one and i use it no more , hence i don't remember the password for it also!!!.Then i got perplexed how to change my password.just browsing through the delicious site, i went to settings of my account(from office computer where it is logged in already).I got shocked when i saw, i can change the email id which i used for registration without prompting for old password.I just changed that email id to my currently using email id.After that i went to forgot password link and gave my account id, which sent a mail to my current id from there i changed mypassword!!!
It means if we login to our delicious account and left without logging off , then some one can easily change our password.!!!without knowing our old password,which can done by just changing the registered id.

Hey Pradeep, did you say you entered your new mail id through your office computer (which was logged in) ?
If that is the case, then its not a flaw. Not sure if I am missing something.
