No, no one can view your password except for you. If someone were to view your password then that would mean they would be able to hack more than just one account of yours perhpas, so it is not given to anyone including Admins. For who changed your occupation, I cannot say unless it was a hacker.

Yeah, passwords are classified. Only you know that information, it's confidential. As for your occupation, it may have been offensive to some members, like Typhlozion said, so one of the higher staff may have changed it. I highly doubt someone would hack you just to change your occupation.

Admins can't see your password, but they can change it. But not unless there's a reason for them to. The only way someone could get your password without you telling is if they hacked into the database.
As for the occupation... *nods toward other replies* :P

Ah,ok,but can they edit my password?
We can CHANGE your password.. not edit or see your current one.. (we see *********) and it is encrypted (MD5) in the database as well so no one can really get at it..

no need to worry.. as for your occ.. well I don't know who did it but i'm sure there was a good reason.. we don't just randomly edit people's profiles (too often, anyway)

they CAN change your password, but they cant see it. even if they went into PC's database, all they would see is an md5(); password.

like say the password was pie, all they could see was ea702ba4205cb37a88cc84851690a7a5
