Today, found a major flaw in ASSEMBLA tool. Let me try to explain my not so good English, First step: Signup for assembla tool. second: Click on forgot password... and what happens? You get email notification. Cool, this link that you get in your email inbox doesn't expire.... IT won't. Nope. Even after using 100 times, it wont at all. So, what? if someone has this link, they can changed my password, why just change? Don't even change just clicking on the reset link will have you logged in to the account. ASSEMBLA is such a big company and i didn't expect this to happen. As a team, we are backing off from this tool, right from this moment.
