Wait till this guy figures out that T-Mobile also stores his password in plain text.

I like my T Mobile service but there's something odd with their backend systems and/or customer service. I logged in to disable their "WebGuard" service that seemed to be blocking pages at random. It required address and social security verification, but I couldn't…
