As a list member, you can turn off password reminders for any list of
which you are a member. As a list admin, you can turn off reminders
for the entire list. This does not affect how passwords are stored,
but at least you can suppress emailing them.

The storing and optional mailing of passwords in plain text is a long
standing issue that the Mailman developers are well aware of. This
will finally change in Mailman 3.
