Default More infos please

Maybe just a detail...but when one signs up and the account is opened, the Account Information e-mail could be a little more complete. I mean so by including ftp and e-mail settings (at least pop and smtp). This, even if they are explained on the Support area.

One more thing, as Steve Jobs would say: after you create a new database and a new db user, an e-mail with the relevant informations would be useful (db name, db username, etc.).

This is something to tell cPanel on their forums...cpanel.net.

I'm not sure that I agree about the username/db getting emailed anyway. FTP settings don't exist when you first make the account except for the main login, which does get emailed to you. You have to make others. And email settings are the same format for every account you make. No email accounts are made when you first setup the account anyway.

Better yet, when you create the database, just past the password into notepad. The rest is listed right on the screen.

Serra's sensible suggestion can be used for all kinds of things, and (if you're running Windows) by dragging a notepad shortcut to the Quick Launch bar (between the start button and the task bar) you can use it at any time by pressing just one button.

Actually, roboform will save entries like that as you put them in, so all of the settings used are saved. It makes it a ton easier to remember stuff.

I usually write down passwords in my notebook that I keep in a safe.
